N4 /5 Porsche Compound Pirelli Cn36's 215/60/15 Availability - for C3

[reedminor]

Yes 215/60 on rear

Hi Dim - I'll check tonight.

My car has 7s and 8s ( 15 inch)

Im fairly sure 215/60 on the rear.... these tyres will transform the car Dim - for road use.... Rides, handles, grips beautifully.

I havent had it on the circuit, but if I did would install a set of R spec tyres for that application.

Well the Cn36s are fitted ..... made a good car even better .

Carl Jones did a wonderful job for me with fitment and alignment.

Hi Justin,
Appreciate this is a very old thread. Do you remember what size CN36 you went on the rears? I can see 185/70 in the pictures of the front tyre. Car looks amazing by the way and love the colour.

I currently have Toyo Proxes R888 on the car which are totally useless for road driving,. Good on track when up to temperature but given thats at best once a year i need to swap these out.
Im based in the UK and looking at the set of 185/70 for the front and 215/60 for the rear on my RS evocation from Longstone.

definitely getting them (the Pirellis) - vendor is still up in the air though....

The ball is firmly in Stuckey's court - and the arrival of their new shipment which is apparently some time next week.

Fingers crossed - as I deep down want to support local businesses in Victoria given the last 12 months .

Decisions yet Justin?

[reedminor]

Yes Im doing Tassie in April .... which is why I want the new tyres.... 10 year old Bridgestones wont cut the mustard.

Fair call.

I assume you are one of the 40 odd cars coming to Tas for the tour ,any other 901 members bringing Long Hoods ?

Not sure if I'll make it down to Hobart for the Dinner, limited numbers.

But if you want to explore some back wood Northern Roads let me know .

Banjo's optional

Yes me too.... have checked them.

But I felt like I should support local.

if I don’t have clarity or confidence by mid February I’ll purchase from Longstone.... who I have bought tyres from before

Longstone Tyres in the UK quoted me approx. the same price inc freight and their delivery would have been quicker.

[reedminor]

thanks everyone

I assume Stuckeys are the only local source for these tyres - so will need to wait till late February for fresh tyres to arrive?

I'm certainly not prepared to pay full price for tyres manufactured in 2017.

Yes they do - and I know how good they are having had them on the swb

They look really good on G series too - and the ride and steering feel improves markedly.

I think they came out late 60's - and when through to 77/78.... then the P7 became the tyre to have.

P7's had a relatively long lifespan that, then the A008..... and so it goes.

These new cn36's are original moulds, but modern construction and compound - and Pirelli do one especially for Porsche
