Another perfect match for the 185/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 can be found in the Vauxhall Chevette Sports Hatchback 1600GL, GLS, and 2000 GLS models.

Although the size 185/70VR13 was a very popular size for cars such as a Ford Cortina, Opel Manta or a Vauxhall Chevette, it is also a wider, low-profile alternative that people would fit instead of a 165 R13 full-profile classic tire.
