It is impossible to say that the SO2's are better than a P7 that has not been made yet. The P7 will have the right carcass design for the car but it will be built with modern materials.

Winston, how about some 16" wheels for the GN? Maybe we could squeeze them onto some 400 mm Austin 7 wheels.

I think the Lancia Stratos was the first car to be seen with Pirelli P7 tyres.

The first production Porsche to use it was the 3.0 Turbo.

We have got 15" P7 tyres https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirell ... to/p7.html with some more wider tyres coming in the near future.

Hopefully we will have some 16" P7 tyres next year.]

The P7 wasn't designed for a specific car.
