600-16C 97/94L Traction Mileage Blackwall Tire
If you're working on a vintage off-road vehicle like a Land Rover Series I, II or III, the Avon Traction Mileage tire is a perfect fit. This example is offered in 600-16, an exact size used on many classic 4x4 trucks. This particular tire is authentic for the short wheelbase Land Rover , but looks great on classic Chevy, Ford or Dodge pickups as an aggressive all terrain style tire. Compared to modern radials, these tires feature a narrow tread pattern, which not only looks authentic, but also provides much lighter steering feel so that you're not arm wrestling your steering wheel at parking lot speed. The original equipment Land Rover Series tyre, fitted from mid-1949. This is THE tyre for your Series Land Rover. The best combination of on and off-road grip and a tread pattern that looks perfect on Series I to III. If you've only ever driven on chunky radials, prepare yourself for lighter steering and a lock-to-lock range that will amaze you. Traditionally, it's 600-16 for SWB and 700-16 for LWB. But the taller tyre is still popular on shorter-wheelbase Land Rovers because it ups the gearing a little, making for a more relaxed drive.
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.
Traction Mileage
Rugged shoulder buttresses ensure even traction, whilst the central ribs in the tread pattern enable good directional control whilst on the road. Fitted as original equipment to Land Rovers, this tire offers the ultimate combination of authenticity and performance for these vehicles.
