Classic Tyre Choice

[Keep it stiff]

I was looking for four Cinturato 155 SR 15 (SR now replaced with HR I think) and all the listings I have found have them on or very close to the RRP of £159 plus vat. Vredestien do this size, from pictures it seems that the style looks very similar and they are listed at £63 plus vat. I found an old PH thread where users of Vredestiens were reporting side wall distortion. For originality I would prefer the Pirelli but it is a big cost difference. Any views on the relative merits?

Hi Tim, yes I have seen this listing, shame they are not closer, by the time carriage is added and I pay someone else to fit they are even more expensive. There is a supplier in Slough, MWS, if they have them in stock they will be more accessible for me.

I have decided to go with the Cinturatos, whilst the cost is painful they are the right product for the car and I don't suppose I will ever need to buy another set.

See you at the rally in the spring I trust.
