Dino Tires for performance

that`s interesting for me too....
can you let us know at what tires you are looking... 70 series XRXs or Avon...
any descriptions links

 

The original OAD is 25.3” for a 205/70R14. This site is helpful to see what street tires are out there https://tiresize.com/calculator/

I don’t think Avon makes the CR6ZZ tires in 14”. The Dino “Comp” vehicle here uses 15” Ferrari wheels with Avons.

For a period correct look, Blockley might be an option:

Or a period correct racing tire from Dunlop:

Perhaps Dougal has some insight here.

I stand corrected. Looks like Avon offers a rally tire in 185/70R14.

not wide enough for my 206 GT Sebring 1969

 

I used to have the Dunlop, wasnt very happy...

 

Since most vintage car, including Dino or Ferrari, owners don't seem to drive theirs extensively, let alone hard/spiritedly enough to have/offer an educated comparison advise, my suggestion, however unpopular, would be to acquire second set of wheels and buy both brands of tires, drive each set back-to-back with the same car on same routes, speeds & climate conditions.

Now that would be a real world comparison testing and when all done, perhaps sell the extra of wheels & non-qualifying tires at a discount to one of those garage/trailer queen investors always looking to save money.

 

I had a set of Dunlop Racing on my ‘69 911. I agree. They’re awful. I replaced them with XWX’s which were game hanging. Are the XWX’s too soft? I have two sets of wheels for my Dino. I’m restoring the original 14” set with new XWX’s and I have the set of 16” Cromodoras with Pirelli P7’s. The 16” size gives you lots of options but I also understand it’s not for everybody! You can see my wife loving it!!
