  • Remanufactured Pirelli CN36

    I made an enquirey to Longstonetyers last week and got a responce today that read as follows:


    Dear Sir,
    Thank you for your e mail,
    None in stock and no dates for manufacture sorry! It is a size we have thought about but not had any progress yet.

    Regards

    Tom Homan

    If we keep pestering we will get these remanufactured.
    Even if you don't want them send an enquiry.

      It'll never happen unless a minimum order of 5000 units are placed

      Asked Pirelli a couple of years ago

          the moulds for these were gone a long time ago.

          new moulds are very expensive to make.

          pirelli would never remake them now. perhaps another company would, with pirelli's permission, but they would not have pirelli on the sidewall, kind of defeating the object.

          ps. i work for pirelli, and did ask years ago.

              dave, " courier" were also made by pirelli.
              most tyre manufacturers have a second string brand, - example, fulda are goodyears ect...
              courier are pirellis second string brand.

                also contacted the vintage tyre place at beaulieu some years ago, said the same sort of thing about getting the moulds, and also the pre order for such a re run would be huge to make it viable

                  In the words of Lou and Andy - Yeah I know !

                  I used to work in the late 80's for SMC (Standard Motorists Centre) at the time Pirelli owned em (they also owned Central Tyres)

                  My 3.1 Litre MKII JPS Capri had Pirelli P7F's fitted the first month they were introduced - lol

                              These tyres have been remade in 15inch, so it can be done. we just need as many people as possible to click on the link and ask for a set , it takes 1 minute.
