DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi in 1968 the low profile tyre hit the streets. Dunlop did it with the SP Sport Aquajet on a Jaguar XJ6 and Pirelli did it with the 911 and the Cinturato CN36.

Thank you

the problem you have is that any 65% profile you buy will have a completely inappropriate carcass structure for your car. They are a wholey different beast designes to be fitted to car with loads of caster and camber that is all dealt with by clever power steering. These modern tyres are not designe...

Erm id just like to say white wall tyres on a Porsche is more offensive than any swear word.

I need 225/50 R15 79V and 270/45 R15 86W Have tried the well known suppliers such as Longstone, Vintage etc but they say there are none in stock anywhere. Apparently, Michelin may start making some in March but not ce...

old weird small volume tyres cost more to produce.

generic modern current carcass structures in generic current sizes are cheaper to make and distribute

Thanks KS. Some more facts I've learned recently: Michelin classic brands (XWX, XAS, XVS, etc) are made in Serbia (outside the EU) Pirelli (CA67, CN36, P7, etc) are made in Turkey (outside the EU) I'm afraid thats life these days. i was Sad when Dunlop stopped making their historic tyres in the UK....

hm! funny that because the Sprint classic does not look classic and their modern tyres are better for modern cars not classic ones.

You guys might be interested to know that Pirelli have just made a fresh batch of these.
