Having spoken to Longstone Tyres they have confirmed that the 175/70 x 13 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 will be back in production towards the end of October/November 2017
So no more will you have to tippy toe around on 30+ year old ditch finders as fresh safe rubber will be available soon
No doubt there will be those that argue 30+ year old rubber is "more" genuine - well these new ones will be 100% genuine as they are being made by Pirelli and badged as Pirelli (unlike the Courier tyres)
I expect the market to be flooded with the old tyres that have been hidden away as they will become expensive ornaments
I applaud Pirelli and Longstone for realising there is a requirement for the 175/70
