Back in stock 165VR15 Cinturato CN36

Interestingly, i have been discussing the stiffer Anti Roll bar on later 911, the stiffer anti roll bar will be part of tuning the car to fit the later more modern tyre carcass design. Incidentally While i was discussing that on another post, a lorry turned up at our shed and unloaded a whole heap o...

Re: Tyre sizing?

Hi Can you catagorically state that the camber angles and caster are exactly the same? I would also guess the springs might be a bit stiffer? i think there would have been some subtle tuning differences. It may not have different components. I do think if you tried the CN36 on your car you would not...

Hmm they are the Vredestein tyres, so they are a slightly different shape.

Re: this only just includes you guys.

I would ask yourself carefully if you want to change the balance of your car by fitting a wider rear. It will handle differently to the way it did with same size front and rear. However if you are going to do it sticking with CN36 I would say will be a big help. The CN36 is a much more progressive t...

Re: Tyre recommendations

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.

Re: Tyre recommendations

But why wouldn't you just fit the Pirelli CN36? https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirelli-collezione/cinturato-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 ...
