'76 Carrera 3.0 was the only year and model where 205/50 & 225/50 was offered on the 7 & 8 x15s and the option package also included a speedometer w/ different calibration For 205/225 there are other grippier ways to go, but yes the CN 36 in those sizes would be a period correct and reasonable grippy option.

Lucas Tire offers the new P7 tires in these sizes for another vintage looking tread alternative. Pirelli's own website lists the CN36 as a 1960's tire, the P7 for 1970's vehicles, and the P Zero as the 1980's style tire. Only the P7 and P Zero are available in 205/50 and 225/50, the CN36 is not. For a 275 HP powered car with SC flared quarters I'm leaning toward the P Zero series tire. Last edited by Cornerlot; 05-14-2020 at 06:46 AM.. |

Do you think that 205/ 50 15 are too wide for the front. You dont think that they will hit, when you turn.

Both the re-issued CN36 and P7 look vintage, but have been updated with modern compounds and such. They are actually pretty good tires, even by today's standards.
CN36 and classic P7 can be had here - https://www.lucasclassictires.com/Pirelli-Cinturato_c255.htm Only Pirelli-approved vintage car dealers can get them.
