Pirelli's Collezione tires are designed for classic automobiles. Using modern materials and manufactured to original specifications, these tires preserve the vehicle's driving character and provide period-correct aesthetics.
The Cinturato CN54 (Collezione) is Pirelli's Classic tire designed for vintage car enthusiasts who want to preserve the authentic driving experience without sacrificing style. Engineered to provide reliable traction in warm, dry, and wet conditions, it blends classic appeal with modern performance.
Inspired by Pirelli's rally heritage and developed for 1970s icons like the Mini, Inocenti, and Fiat 500, the CN54's compound is tailored for dependable road use. The tread design is an evolution of the one found on the legendary Cinturato CA67, with its "greca" pattern for the center ribs. Featuring alternating segments flanked by two uninterrupted ribs, it offers consistent road contact for a stable on-center feel and responsive handling. Staggered shoulder notches and circumferential grooves work together to channel water away from the footprint, enhancing control in wet weather.
Under the surface, the Cinturato CN54 (Collezione) improves on the Cinturato CA67's legacy with a more robust and stable belt package. The internal construction features a polyester casing supporting twin high-tensile steel belts for a tread foundation that's lightweight yet durable. A nylon reinforcement ply adds structural integrity for high-speed stability.
Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels, or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.
Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in High Performance Summer tires during cold weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking due to use in ambient temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius) because it occurs as a result of improper use or storage.
