The Cal-look Lounge

As the title says guys I know its a long shot but I thought I might as well start looking..........

I really really want/need a pair of Pirelli 215/60 AND a pair of 175/70 for PROJECT 66 - Just like the ones on Mike Billings 67 and The Goss Chop Top  ;D

I know tires are the hardest thing to find but resently i have started to see more and more coming up for sale - So can anyone help with ANY leads please drop me a line,

And before you all say it NO longstone don't do PROPER Pirelli 215's   

What wheels are they for ? :D

Hang on in there Lee , these do come up on flee bay , I nearly bought a pair of them when i was on the hunt for another Mich XZX .
Try the jag ,ferrari and lambo club site classified's  ;)
Good hunting , for the 67 I presume  8)

You know I ain't got anything left Rob  ;) but eventually they will hopefully go on some 7" Fuch's - I gave up on the Empi 8's idea  :)

I am just starting to look and get info really as tires are the HARDEST thing to find - Thanks for the heads up on the Jag/Ferrari/Lambo thing  :)

Diedrick has told me you can get the 175's in Holland so that shouldn't be a problem - its just those 215's  :-\

I really really really do want to find a pair - I just think it would be the finishing touch to a project.

Finishing touch ! you need a starting point .

Tyres are easier to find when you have 14inch wheels , how about these

very true, 15s are harder to find and a lot more expensive  :(
i liked the 14" front tyres Lee had on the buggy when I last saw it.

Alright Give me a break!  ;)

I have seen LOADS of sets of 14's but its all about those 15" 215's  ;D

Close but No cigar dude - I'm looking for 215's   ;) :) :-*

Ideally no one will have 215s , that way you won't have to buy them !

Those 205s are a nice looking tyre

lee don't forget in your research to add CN36 , because you can have new cinturato with new design for modern car

 ;)

those are 185  ;) http://www.pneu-collection.fr/pneu-radial-taille-basse/117-pneu-pirelli-cinturato-18570-vr-15-cn36.html (http://www.pneu-collection.fr/pneu-radial-taille-basse/117-pneu-pirelli-cinturato-18570-vr-15-cn36.html)

Cheers Fabs  :)

Just cos I am still looking  ;) :)

I have some NOS 215-70 cinturatos I bought for a project and may no longer need. they are the p5 cinturatos however from the late 70's I believe but they are a good looking tyre are they any good??

I can send pics??

Dave

Cool send me a couple of pic's of the TREAD area - monki772003@yahoo.co.uk  :)

Will email them over now!

Dave

Thanks for the pic's buddy BUT they are not the ones  :'(

I do have a lead on a pair in San francisco, Apparently the guy brought them YEARS ago for his 911 along with a pair of 185's for the front but he has already sold those  :'(

I am just waiting to see pictures  ;) :)

I'm still on the hunt for a pair of 175' though - Any leads  ??? :)

No problem mate I only bought them as I liked the look of them and have never had chance to use them yet!

Dave

OMG  :o

I HAVE FOUND A PAIR OF 215's and they are from a 72 Carrera  ;D

Just need those 175's now  ::) ;) ;D

 ;)

it must be my lucky day...... I now have a lead on some 175's  :o ;) :)

Tires Age Dangerously.
Here are some safety thoughts on old tires.

http://www.edmunds.com/car-care/how-old-and-dangerous-are-your-tires.html

Just posted up for sale N.O.S. but they are 215/70s ??    http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,20942.0.html

Kinda my thought's , Lee what's the end numbers on the DOT marks ?

These are slightly later tyres and not the cn36's monkiboy is looking for.

I had been holding onto them but now the car I had purchased them for is more of a strip based project now then it seems a shame to leave them sat I'm the garage until I find a use for them.

David

Guys.... There is NO need to worry about the "Safety" aspect, These are "For Show Purposes Only" and maybe some round town stuff but I will not be going 100mph on these 40yrs old tires - I am not that silly  :)
