The Pirelli CN 36 was the groundbreaking high performance, low profile tire of the early 1970's supplied as original equipment on the Stratos, 911RS, etc.. It was surprisingly good in the wet too. The VW Sport Beetle introduced the popular 175/70-15HR size that became the Giulietta performance/racing tire of choice for over two decades. Pirelli introduced in the late 1980's a vintage racing version with stiffer belts and a stickier compound.
