Default Thanks bridgestone!


I think the commitment, technology efforts and BRIDGESTONE's passion to create a new tire set for the mythical XJ220 must be rewarded!

One of the guys wrote a post about this for the HP! It's such a cool story! I think Pirelli makes a run of tires for the Countach every five years or so, and it's cool to see Bridgestone doing it for the XJ220!

Mere mortals don't have problems like this, but it's interesting to think about how hard it is to find tires to fit old supercars like this. Though I guess if you had the money to own one of these, you could likely spring for a set of custom wheels that would allow for something close enough.

This is great to see! A friend of mine that owns an XJ220 was approached by JLR Classic after a service at their facility. They have produced a Pirelli set of XJ220 tyres
