But why wouldn't you just fit the Pirelli CN36?

https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirell ... -cn36.html

I am mystified as to why anyone would even consider anything else.

There wasnt a tyre that suited these cars other than the XWX. Longstone Tyres got Pirelli to make the 185/70VR15 Cinturato CN36 again, and we were about to get them to make the 215/60VR15 CN36 again, when Porsche got wind of what were were doing with Pirelli and got in touch and got involved with Pirelli because they were so pleased to have the perfect tyre for their early cars again. It is important becuase modern tyres dont suit themm which is why Porsche got involved. Porsche got some tyres and tested them and homologated them with the N.

why would you want anything else?

I dont mean to be rude but those Kleber look dreadful too

Hi.

Sorry about the cost thingy; but it really can’t be helped. The price of everything has gone up horribly. And the applies to quality tyres particularly. A big contributor to the cost increase is that Russian idiot.
