Gilbern GT Tyres

Gilburn GT 1959–1967

• The 1962 GT Mark 1 fitted 520 - 13 crossply tyres.
• The only crossply tyre in the 520 - 13 size is the 5.20 x 13 Camac. This is a budget tyre however, we suggest switching to more modern radial tyres.
• The ideal radial equivalent size to 520 - 13 is 145 R13. In the 145 R13 size we recommend the 145R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 and the 145HR13 Michelin XAS FF.
• In 1963 Gilburn GT models switched to larger 590 - 13 tyres.
• The only crossply in this size is the 5.90 x 13 Camac, as a budget crossply, we would instead recommend radial tyres.
• The 590 - 13 radial equivalent size is 165 R13. The best Gilburn GT tyres in the 165 R13 size are the 165R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 and the 165 HR 13 Michelin XAS FF.
• In 1964 new GT models switched to 590 - 14 tyres.
• 590 - 14 crossply tyres are not currently in production, we suggest switching to 165 R14 radial tyres.
• The best 165 R14 Gilburn GT tyres are the 165 HR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 and the 165R14 Michelin XAS.
• The 1965–1967 Gilburn 1800 GT and GT 1800 also fitted 5.90-14 tyres. We recommend the 165 HR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 or the 165R14 Michelin XAS.
• The 1967 V6 GT fitted 165 R15 radial tyres as standard.
• Our recommended Gilburn V6 GT tyre is the 165 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67.
