Pirelli Cinturato Vintage Tyres

The PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ tyre was invented in the 1950's an d is the mainstay of the current Pirelli Collezione range. Juan Manuel Fangio called the tyre PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ Extraordinary. The 5 Times Formula 1 world champion was impressed by its absolute driving precision: which was unthinkable in those days where cross-ply tyres were commonplace. More rigid than cross-ply tyres, the CINTURATO ™ was the first tyre with a radial structure which wrapped around the carcass like a belt. The result was a markedly sporting product, which was to make history. By the end of 1968 PIRELLI was exporting, or directly manufacturing, CINTURATO ™ tyre in as many as 137 countries worldwide. The PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ tyre had excellent grip and speed capabilities. It's no surprise that PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ tyre was original equipment on many of the great Italian cars of the 50's, 60's and 70's. The Cinturato gave the grip and longevity expected of radial tyres, but more importantly it gave the progressive handling that is needed for collectable classic cars that are so desirable today. Making the Pirelli Collezione tyre a market leader. Lamborghini, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and Maserati and many International collector car manufacturers like MGB, Rover and Lotus fitted the ground braking PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ tyres. Importantly for today's Classic car user, the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ tyre is a genuine period classic tyre. As well as being original fitment on MGB, Ferrari 250GT and Alfa Duetto, PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ are also a period radial tyre alternative for cars such as '50s and '60s Jaguars, Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1 and all the DB Aston Martins. These collezione cars left the factory fitted with cross ply tyres and in many cases benefit from a period radial tyre such as Pirelli Collezione on today's modern roads. Today we tend to find ourselves cruising on dual carriage ways at over 50 mph (80kph) and crossply tyres tend to wander. Fitting a Cinturato from Pirelli’s Collezione range will dramatically diminish the wandering without making the steering much heavier as a more modern radial tyre would. As well as looking fantastic the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ tyre will make your historic car handle superbly.
