205VR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN72 Tires


During the 1940s and 1950s, renowned car manufacturers typically equipped their vehicles with crossply tires. However, if a radial tire was requested, Aston Martin and Jaguar would fit the 185VR16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67. As the 1960s approached, there was a shift towards 15" wheels, with cars like the Ferrari 250 opting for 185VR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 tires. In 1964, PIRELLI developed the V-rated 205VR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN72, specifically designed to handle the new speeds attained by these vehicles.

It is worth noting that the 205VR15 CINTURATO ™ CN72 HS differs significantly from a 205/70VR15 tire. The 205VR15 features a full-profile design with a diameter of 707mm, nearly identical to its predecessor, the 185VR16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67, commonly found on cars such as the Maserati Mistral and Sebring.

Models like the Silver Shadow 1, Aston Martin DB6 Series 2, and early DBS eagerly embraced the CN72 CINTURATO ™ as the finest radial alternative to their original crossply tires.
