185-15 Tyres

185 R15 Classic Radial Tyres

In the early 1960s there was a step change where all the manufacturers of the bigger engine sports cars of the day from the likes of Jaguar, Ferrari, Maserati and Aston Martin changed from 16” wheels with either crossply 6.00-16 or radial tyres such as 185 R16 Pirelli Cinturato moved onto fitting 15” wheels and for a period they fitted 6.40-15 or 6.70-15 crossply or the radial tyre of choice of the period was 185 R15. Again the Pirelli Cinturato was the tyre of choice, because these radial 185 R15 Pirelli Cinturato HS were the largest radial tyres with the highest speed capability, (until 1964 when Pirelli developed the 205 R15 Cinturato CN72 HS). The E-type Jaguar started off fitting 6.40-15 Dunlop RS5 Crossply tyres, where a radial 185 R15 would be the radial option and they moved onto fitting 185 R15 as standard in 1968 with the 185 R15 Dunlop SP Sport Aquajet in 1968. Aston Martin carried on with crossply tyres on 15” wheels with the late DB4, DB5 and early DB6, however if you requested them the 185 R15 Pirelli Cinturato was fitted as a radial option.
What are the best tyres in the size 185 R15?

we would suggest that the 185 R15 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 is a great tyre and we would suggest fitting it to cars like an E-type Jaguar or a Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2.

What is the cheapest 185 R15 tyre?

It might not be the cheapest however the 185 R15 Michelin XVS-P is exceptionally good value, and what we would recommend for a later Citroen DS 23 injection.
