A word of caution.

My 3500 MkI was fitted with new Pirelli Cinturatos when I bought it at 3
years old - but SR rather than HR which was a totally different design.
Chunks came off the rear tyres. I took it to the Pirelli depot which was
at the time in Mitcham and they said the SR tyres simply weren't up to
handling the torque. They gave me a good deal on HR ones which lasted very
well.

Of course things may be different with modern tyres - but I think you
still have to fit replacements as good or better than the original maker's
spec.
