The five-times Formula One World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio called the Pirelli Cinturato "Extraordinary"[1] and raced on it many times in the remainder of his career.
[2] The Pirelli Cinturato may be compared to a wheel in which the rim is attached to the hub by means of fine spokes.
The tread and belt are in effect the rim; the 90-degree or radial cord plies are the spokes; and the bead is the hub.
The inextensible belt and the radial casing cords were the combined factors which gave the Cinturato tyre its special properties.
The Cinturato CA67 is also famously the tyre that Roger Moore had fitted to his Volvo P1800 in the series The Saint.
