Original tyre brand.

Just for curiosity's sake , does anyone know what brand of tyre would have been fitted to the lambrettas leaving the factory in '59?

Michelin ACS rings a bell, might be wrong though.

I’d say Pirelli for the home market and Michelin for the uk market going by the advertising bumf in the old service manuals

I think I've seen more Ceat tyres than anything else.
