  • CN36's will be here soon

    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

    Good news No more paying £100s for tyres
    Difficult roads often lead to beautiful places

      You are kidding right! They ain't gonna sell in any great quantity (compared to mainstream product - 100,000 a year) so will have a 'premium product' price tag

          Was hoping a “club” may have been willing to sort a group buy deal but there is more chance of Frosty having a bath !

          Going on the current price of the 185/70 CN36 I reckon £100 a corner - that’s if Longstones don’t get greedy and load the price

          At least 4 fresh new genuine tyres at £400 is still cheaper than a single 30 year old ornament at £430 which was a price seen previously !

              Just shows it can be done if companies put their minds to it.

              Sure there's a long list of things, Cibie headlights surely must be up there.

              Hoping to buy a full set of reproduction cn36s that I can drive on myself.

                          Hi Team

                          Never mind will be here soon - they are here!!!!!

                          175/70 VR 13 Tyres The tyre size 175/70 VR 13 is a popular tyre for cars of the ‘70s and ‘80s. In 1968 low profile tyres became the hot technology for tyre manufacturers and as a result for car manufacturers were keen to take advantage of the extra grip that it offered. 155 R 13 was a popular tyre at the time and a 175/70 VR 13 was the low profile alternative giving a very similar overall diameter with the extra width of the 175mm instead of the 155mm. So you would find like the Triumph Dolomite Sprint, or a Golf GTi fitting a 175/70 VR 13 where the base model cars would fit a 155 R 13 tyre. 175/70 VR 13 CN36 For some time there has not been a period tyre available in the size 175/70 VR 13 at all. We are now fortunate in that Pirelli have stepped up to there mark and produced the famous 175/70 VR 13 CINTURATO ™ CN36 which is fabulous news for owners of Ford Escorts because this PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN36 tyre was original equipment on their top sports such as the RS2000 and the Mexico. 13" PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 Dimensions Tyre Size Load Index Section Width Overall Diameter Recommended Rim Width 165R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 82 = 475 kgs 170 mm / 6.9" 600 mm / 23.62" 4.0" - 5.5" 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 82 = 475 kgs 177 mm / 6.97" 576 mm / 22.68" 4.5" - 6.5" 185/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 86 = 530 kgs 195 mm / 7.67" 587 mm / 23.11" 5.0" - 6.5" The overall diameter of the 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ is 579 mm and the width is 180 mm. For more information on the 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ please see below or call +44 (0) 1302 711 123. Back to the search for 175/70x13
