I have copied below an entry in this week's Tyre Trade News (yes there is such a thing! )
Pirelli: New tyres for historic sports cars
About 70 per cent of all Porsche models ever built are still in a roadworthy condition even today. In order to serve the need for suitable tyres, Porsche along with Pirelli has newly developed, tested and approved numerous tyres that were originally matched to different generations of Porsche vehicles. When it comes to the look and design of the tread, the redevelopments are equal to the historic originals.
The new tyres are not just simply new editions of the historic tyres. In fact they combine the appearance of the originals with modern tyre technology by using state-of-the-art compounds together with modern constructions.
The original tread designs and tyre dimensions will help these historic sports cars from Zuffenhausen maintain an authentic appearance in every detail. Authenticity is a keyword of classic Porsches, therefore keeping the correct look is important.
