Dougal,

probably either Dunlop SP 'dogbone' pattern or Michelin XAS / X.

Hi

Because of the development of a couple of Porsche tyres i have had made recently, one of them being the Pirelli CN36 that was fitted to 911 in 1973. i do want to know what were OE on these cars. It is good for me to have the knowledge, among other things then i can get my web site as slick and informative as possible.
