4.75/5.00-19 Double Rivet Blackwall Tire

We proudly offer legendary Michelin Classic products for early automobiles through the incredible performance car tires of the seventies and eighties. Many of these innovative products shaped the tire industry when new, including several industry firsts such as the radial tire. Michelin brings a well established record of engineering excellence to market, and premium Michelin Classic tires are no exception. "Double rivet" is in fact the name of a tread pattern which first appeared with the first generation of automobile tires known as beaded edge tires. This tread pattern was retained for the first tires with bead wires in 1925. This tread pattern was truly revolutionary at the time, also served as the inspiration for the first radial tires.

Blackwall Tire

Since the introduction of carbon black rocked the tire industry, the original recipe for most tires has been a solid black sidewall. For classics and collector cars alike, it's hard to beat the no-nonsense appeal of a classic blackwall style tire. British sports car, classic truck and even hot rod enthusiasts love the way a nice period correct blackwall tire looks on their vehicles.

Bias Ply Construction

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.
