Patented in 1951, Pirelli’s first radial tyre incorporated a great deal of advanced thinking in terms of its construction and performance. It became a very popular fitment for performance vehicles throughout the 1950s and 60s, from Lancia and Alfa Romeo to Maserati to Ferrari. As well as this core of Italian performance vehicles that used the Cinturato, car manufacturers from many other countries offered the tyre as an optional fitment in the 1960s. Models from Porsche and even Volvo were often fitted with these tyres by their more well-heeled customers.

Latterly called the CA67, this pattern of Cinturato is still manufactured by Pirelli in a wide range of sizes, using modern materials, but keeping its traditional design.

This 185VR16 size Pirelli Cinturato CA67 is an ideal tyre for the: Aston Martin DB2 and DB4; BMW 507; Bristol 401/403/405/406/407/408/409; Ferrari 250; Fiat 8V; Maserati Mistral and 3500GT/5000GT; and the Jaguar XK (120, 140, 150) and Mk9.
