The Pirelli Cinturato, first introduced in the 1950's, was the first example of a textile cord braced radial tire. The Pirelli Cinturato quickly became the dominant radial tire in European GT and sports car racing circles.
The Pirelli Cinturato combined unprecedented grip with high-speed capabilities, the Cinturato also gave a supremely comfortable ride. Not surprisingly, the Pirelli Cinturato soon became standard equipment on many of the great Italian marques of the era, including Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini.
