Question about CN36 Pirelli; I went to one site and they recommended a tube to be used with these tires.
Can that be correct?
Who has experience with he Pirelli?
Any company who sells tires for Brass, Antique, Classic, Vintage & newer cars recommend inner tubes & flaps & new stems so all tire types are covered.
Most likely do not need tubes.
While many extol the virtues of the new rubber compound & "period correct' block tread pattern Pirelli CN36. Introduced in 1971 this was Pirelli's first steel-belted-radial tire which dramatically improved durability, rigidity & performance over less durable & compliant bias-ply-fabric tires.
I prefer the Pirelli CNP7 All-Season (original 14 wheels) or Continental DWS 06 Plus (BBS16s currently)
Vredestein Sprint Classic are the perfect blend of modern compound "period correct" & wet traction.
My personal experience with Pirelli CN36s was in Dirk de Groen's Inka 1973 2002 Targa on the Florida 02/02/2020 Howie-in-the-Hills Tour. Great for dry, terrible & dangerous in the wet over 45 mph.
