185VR16 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 Are inctredibly expensive but period correct.
I had to fit rhem to my Aceca als I was goung on a rally abroad and no other type available. They do look a bit big on a small car like this, but handling is wonderful.
"Pirelli's famous Cinturato CA67 185VR16 was O.E. for all 50's and some early 60's Ferrari's, Maseratis, Jaguars and Aston Martins.
185VR16 Tires
185VR16 is the Radial equivalent to 600x16 bias ply tires. Cars like XK120, XK140, XK150 Jaguars, Aston Martin DB2, DB3 and early DB4 still fitted the bias tyre size. However if you asked Jaguar to fit a radial tyre to your later XK, then Jaguar would fit a 185VR16 Cinturato CA67, because at the time Dunlop weren't making a suitable radial. And again if you asked Aston Martin to fit a radial tyre to your David Brown Aston Martin, the Aston took off the Bias ply Avon TurboSpeed, and as a radial they fitted Pirelli Cinturato. Pre 1963 Astons radial tire option was the 185VR16 Cinturato CA67."
