    I believe so

    CN36 is said to 've 1st come out circa 1969 . . .

    '. . . Towards the end of 1968 the new tyre technology was low profile tyres. Pirelli were hot on the tail with their new CN36 which came out in 1969. The CN36 had a striking tread pattern and was a favourite for the likes of the Porsche 911, Ford Escort & Ford Cortina . . .'

    Also, 'Pirelli' shows-up on my Kardex --- car was built in Dec '69


    Not sure what all the various types of Pirellis were available, back then, but I would guess that the latest/greatest/etc would find their way onto a 'Faktory-use' car . . .

    . . . like the CN36?
