White Wall Radial Tyres
The best way to fit white wall tyres to an e-type Jaguar is for us to have a white wall built into the side wall of a Pirelli Cinturato tyre. There are budget white wall radial 205/70R15 tyres available, but fitting a 205/70R15 tyre onto the non power steering cars, somewhat spoils the handling. And even on the V12 series 3 they still do not have the carcass structure for a sports car that goes round corners. We strongly suggest sticking to a Michelin or Pirelli carcass, and ring us 00 44 1302 711123 and we can arrange to have a white wall built in. We strongly suggest not fitting white wall onto European sports cars! It just isn’t right.
The Cheapest white wall radial tyres for A Silver Shadow are the 235/70R15 White Wall. However the Silver Shadow did originally fit 235/70VR15 Avon TurboSpeed White Wall radial tyres.
