Pneus 560 - 15

A: We would suggest that the best tyres to fit a sports car like a Porsche 356, which originally fitted 5.60 X 15 crossply tyres, would be to upgrade to a 165 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67, a 165 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 N, or a 165-15 Michelin XAS.

A: For cars like a Wolseley 15/50, an early 1960s Singer Gazelle, or a VW Beetle, we would suggest fitting a 155 TR 15 Michelin X or a 165 SR 15 Michelin XZX. The 155 R15 tyre is a more accurate radial alternative to a 560X15 crossply, and the 155 R15 will keep the steering more precise, light, and direct. The 165 R15 tyre will offer a slightly taller tyre and longer legs.

A: The most accurate alternative to a 5.60 X15 tyre is 155 R15. We would recommend the 155HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 as a 1950s or 1960s sports car tyre, and the 155TR15 Michelin X as a more pedestrian classic car tyre. Often people like to go up a little in size and fit a 165 R15 under which circumstances we would suggest 165 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 for 1950s and 1960s classic sports cars. 165-15 Michelin XAS and 165 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 N for late 1960s and 1970s classic sports cars.
