i am sure i have seen pics of at least 1 jalpa with rear countach tyres i mean 345 wide ones somebody has them? do you know if it needs mods to accomodate rear countach wheels and tyres ? tks in advance
Know that car, it's in the netherlands, it has a Special Suspension, but do not have a contact. Our dutch friends might help. Here the Pictures from Viva Italia Event where we were as well, many, many years ago... http://www.lambocars.com/v8_engine/jalpa_p350_images_1.html I think the QV to the left is also quite known...

Ciao Emilio, my Silhouette had 345's when I bought it many years ago. They were fitted to the Silhouette bravos. They looked terrible !
ciao Paul i understand i would like to know if they fit no problems on countach wider rear wheels which should look Nice see the pic below from Lambocars View attachment 2654606
Yes Emilio I had them on my Jalpa. The tires rubbed with any bump. I do not recommend doing it. I went to the original 285/40/15's as soon as I found a set.
Well the good news is you have the choice https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirelli-collezione/cinturato-p7.html the 345/35 tyres are on the shel. The 285 tyres ran out a while ago, but we hope to have a fresh batch soon.
The black Jalpa with the 345 Pirelli P Zero Countach rear wheels is VIN #GLA12326. Austrian livery (consegna: Bruno de Cillia).
Hi the 285/40R15 P7 is avaialbel again https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/285-40vr15-pirelli-cinturato-p7.html Can i just clarify as much as possible what original equipment tyres were on a Jalpa? Any dteail about tyre pressures would be great. any pictures of data about tyres and owners manuals etc would be great
The 285/40/15 was for the Bravo wheels, which was not on most Jalpas, factory wise on a handful of 1988's. The standard tire was a 16", IIRC.
Do you know what sizes, Brand and tread pattern the 16" tyre were? I would like to collect as much info as possible then hopefully i will be able to create an accurate web page about what tyres these cars fitted and what tread patterns they used and also hopefully what tyre pressures the different tyres ran at.
