 Shocked Shocked
Strange tread pattern. Never saw any tyres like that back in the day. The usual Pirellii tread pattern was the one on the right in this photo:


I wonder when the two tread patterns were available?

Fabian, congrats on the tires!  I am running them on my ragtop (both tire styles you show in the picture) and they look the part...........just remember that they are a tube tire only.  Lots of talcum powder in the tire when you mount them.

Enjoy!

I wonder when the two tread patterns were available?
Keith The Tires on the Left were on the rear of The Goss Choptop when he had it, Keith Goss Ran A 185/70x15 CN on the rear and a 175/70x15 CN36 on the Front  Both tires sizes had the same tread pattern. 175/70x15 CN 36 is the same height as a 145 mich XZX but a little wider they look great on a lowered cal look and handle great  165x15 and smaller have the tread pattern on the right 175/70x15 and larger CN 36's have the tread pattern on the left call a Dog Bone tread..

I think you'll find they are 215/65 just like Mike Billings 67  -Am I right Mr FastBrit  Huh Smiley

As far as I can remember from my days restoring Ferrari's I think the 215's were fitted as standard to Ferrari 275's  - Any thoughts people  Huh Smiley

P.S Stop winding up Fabs Mr FastBrit  Wink

Yes, 215/65s - I could only replace them with Fuldas at the time. There were no 175/70s around, either, so I used 155 ZXs.  Smiley

We love Fabs! Cheesy Kiss

I just think it is funny that KS stamped the vintage photos with his name, yet the ones he actually took are unstamped.  Irony.  I guess that is "Speedwell Protection"   Cheesy Wink

Nah, it's called "Internet protection" – not that that helps much these days.  Roll Eyes As for my own pic, who cares about a pic of a Brit in shorts? Cheesy

Hmmmm interesting - I am determined to find a pair of 215's for PROJECT 66

Also I thought some of the rear suspension/axle tubes was Chromed - maybe those pic's are from before the chassis was re-detailed  Undecided Huh Smiley

Well spotted! This was indeed an early photo. Check the frame horns and torsion tube – they're all dirty. Note also the non-fresh-air heater boxes which Keith and the FAT crew modded to fit the header. I may even still have those somewhere.
