Factory production white wall tire commonly found on many American automobiles manufactured 1957 to 1961. Most popular on Cadillacs, Buicks, Chryslers, Lincolns and other full bodied cars.Features:"Fluted" shoulderOriginal Tread design Made in USA.
Typically wide whitewalls run all the way to the bead. Narrow whitewalls will stop somewhere before the bead, resulting in a narrower band of exposed white rubber. Bright white rubber is added directly to the tire sidewall during initial construction of the carcass, resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality product after vulcanization. This style was popular into the early sixties, eventually being replaced by narrow whitewalls altogether.
Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.
Universal Classic bias ply tires are available in several popular sizes to fit cars from the 1930’s through the 1960’s. The tires feature a period correct tread pattern and sidewall style, giving you the perfect original look for your classic car.
