Vauxhall Victor Tyres
Here is what Longstone Tyres recommends based on your Vauxhall Victor tyre needs:
- Longstone recommends the 165 HR 13 Michelin XAS FF for a Vauxhall Victor (Pre-1969) which is the best radial alternative to a 560 - 13 crossply tyre.
- We suggest fitting a set of 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 for a Vauxhall Victor Estate & Vauxhall Ventora which is the best radial alternative to a 690X13 crossply tyre. We also offer a radial with a white band, in the 6.40 x 13 Michelin ZX Whitewall which is close to the correct size.
- These tyres would best fit an Michelin 13D inner tube.
- Longstone recommends a set of 6.40/7.00 SR 13 Michelin ZX for a Vauxhall Victor 200, 1600 Super & SL which is the best radial alternative to a 620 - 13 crossply tyre.
- For these tyres Longstone recommends the Michelin 13F inner tube.

History of the Vauxhall Victor
Built between 1957-1978, the Vauxhall Victor was a large family car that would later be known as the VX series, introduced to replace the ageing Vauxhall Wyvern. In 1968 the Vauxhall Ventora would be launched which was based on a Vauxhall Victor FD body but this time with a 3.3-litre engine under the bonnet. There would be several variations of the Vauxhall Victor; with the F Series Victor (1957-1960), FB Series Victor & VX4/90 (1961-1964), FC Series Victor & VX4/90 (1964-1967), FD Series Victor, VX4/90 & Ventora (1967-1972), FE Series Victor, VX4/90, Ventora, VX1800 & VX2300 (1972-1976) & VX Series (1976-1978).
Independent Tyre Test - The Results
In the world of modern tyres it is commonplace to come across a tyre test. Sadly in the world of classic tyres, the investment never seems to be there to do a proper modern tyre test. However, a German magazine in July 2016 conducted this modern tyre test using classic tyres. This classic tyre test has been translated from German to English. What is remarkable in this tyre test is quite how well the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36 classic tyre performed in the table at the end. The scores in this table are not scored in relation to the other tyres in the test, so when a score of 1 is recorded, then that is a perfect score for a classic tyre or a modern tyre. It is wonderful to see that these classic PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36 tyres can give such exemplary results.
