175/70 R15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36
PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 175/70 R15 tyres are superior classic performance tyres, providing progressive, sport-oriented handling, a speedy W-speed rating, and a historically accurate classic tyre look. The PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 175/70 R15 is developed specifically to complement the chassis of cars from the 1970s and 1980s, generating the ideal driving forces for classic cars. Modern tyres are designed for modern car chassis, which are much stiffer. Modern tyres will impair the handling and overall feel of classic cars.

175/70 R15 Tyres
175/70 R15 is the low-profile alternative to a tyre sized 155 R15. Classic cars like the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, MG A models from the initial years, the Porsche 914, as well as the Triumph TR2 and TR3, could substitute their original 155 R15 tyre size and fit 175/70 R15 tyres.
This particular tyre size, the 175/70 R15, was installed as original equipment on some of the later versions of the VW Beetle, including the Super Beetle and the premium Cabriolet model. Notably, the 175/70 R15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 was the exact tyre model fitted to these cars in period.
Additionally, the Saab 99 EMS and the 99 Turbo initially came fitted with the PIRELLI's 175/70 R15 CN36 tyres. This tyre size continued to be used as original equipment for the early versions of the Saab 900.
