Pirelli

“The origin of Pirelli dates back to 1872, the year Giovanni Battista Pirelli founded a limited partnership, “G.B. Pirelli & C.”, in Milan to produce elastic rubber items. G.B. Pirelli & C. was liquidated and Pirelli & C., a limited shares partnership was established. In 1873, the first plant for the production of rubber items was built in Milano. Later, the rubber band production line for carriages was started (1885) and the first tyre for velocipedes was launched (1894) which resulted from a number of innovations in the preparation of materials and manufacture of tyres.” – https://Pirelli.com

Nowadays, Pirelli is the official tyre supplier to Formula 1, and their road vehicle tyres have been fitted to prestigious brands such as Ferrari, and more. More recently, they added cycling to their lineup. For the world of Gravel Cycling, there is the Cinturato series, which includes tubeless-ready tyres and ultra-compact tubes.
