Set of 4 off 155 R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67

155 R13 Tyres

The 155 R13 tyre size is particularly significant for classic cars from the 1960s to the 1980s. Many 1960s classic automobiles, such as the Fiat 1300, early MK1 Ford Cortina, including the Lotus Cortina, Sunbeam Alpine, Triumph Vitesse, and Vauxhall Victor, left the manufacturer with crossply tyres in the size 560 - 13, which were to be replaced by the radial size 155 R13. As car production proceeded through the 1970s, these and many other vehicles began to include 155 R13 radial tyres as standard equipment, as crossply tyre technology became obsolete.

It's worth noting that when these car models advanced into the 1970s and 1980s, a large proportion of them began to employ low-profile tyres. The 175/70 WR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 is a low-profile alternative to the 155 R13 tyre size. As these vehicles progressed and transitioned to low-profile tyres, the chassis geometry changed, with more adverse camber, stiffer springs with less suspension travel, and wider rims, yet the cars were carefully tuned to suit a tyre size. So, changing the tyre size will have a subtle effect on the vehicle's handling.
