155 R15 Classic Tyre Options

The 155 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 were original equipment for Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Lotus Elite.
Cars like early MGA and Triumph TR2 and TR3 originally fitted crossply, but drive at their best on modern roads with the 155-15 Cinturato CA67.
We would suggest the best handling tyre for sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s in the size 155 R15 is the PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67. (its appearance is also perfect for that era.)
There is also the 155 TR 15 Michelin X of the 1940s. A more pedestrian tyre for cars like VW Beetle and Peugeot 403.
There is also the 155 HR 15 Michelin XAS sportscar tyre. XAS offers excellent directional stability at high cruising speeds on dual carriageways.

What is a 155/80 R15 tyre? Why are there no tyres called 155/80 R15?

When radial tyres such as a 155/80 R15 was developed, the option of a low profile was not yet developed. So they would simply be called 155R15. Now there is more options of profile available it might be called 155/80SR15, 155/80TR15, 155/80R15 or 155/80HR15. Which means that the tyre is 155 mm wide, 80% of 155mm is the height of he side wall, the S, T or H are speed ratings, R stands for radial and 15” is the diameter of wheel.
