Can you still buy Campaign tyres?

Can anyone help me source a new set of 4?

Do Pirelli still make them?

This is fast becoming a very urgent requirement, so advice would be very much appreciated!

Not definite, But I think you can only get P6000 now as opposed to P600 which would have been the originals.

yep the size is still widely available, not exactly the same tyre of course as tyre tech has changed so much in 25-30 yrs.  P6 cinturato are available for example http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/pirelli/p6-cinturato/185/60/R14/H/82/

Thanks for your replies. Looks like I'm stuck with an alternative. Would be nice to keep with Pirelli, but P6 looks more of an 'eco' tyre…?

The original tyre fitted to the 'Campaign' was i fact the P6.
Please do not fit these original ones as they are not safe, as are most of the P600's ( well past their sell by date). Pirelli have a new P6 on the market, this would be the best way to go.

I've got P600's on my 944 and have nicknamed them 'ditch-finders' - they really don't seem to have much grip on them.

Go for something newer ;)

How much tread have they got left?

At least 5-6mm! They're so hard I think when the world ends and even cockroaches are dead, P600's will still be alive and well with plenty of tread on them!  :lol:
