American Classic Radial 1 1/2 Inch Whitewall 205/55R16

Whitewall tires are an iconic piece of American automotive history. We all remember those classic huge three-inch wide whitewalls, sometimes even wider, back in the day! Since then, tires with a wide whitewall have been popular for classic car restorations as well as hot rod and custom builds. These tires offer the right look for your classic car, thanks to the white sidewall and stylish tread pattern. The whitewall is built into the mold from the beginning, so it is a true whitewall tire that will stand up to the test of time. These modern fitment American Classic whitewall tires for sale are available online and are made in the USA. They are DOT and ECE (European Community) approved and covered by Coker Tire Company's Life of the Tread warranty. Please note that dimensions listed (tread width, section width and overall diameter) are non-scientific and based on an inflated tire, mounted to a wheel. Dimensions may vary due to rim width and inflation pressure.

Genuine Wide Whitewall Tire

This product features a genuine wide whitewall sidewall style. This means that the 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. Wide whitewall tires were a very popular choice from the 1930's through the end of the 1950's, and were eventually phased out of mainstream production by 1962. Originally, wide whitewall tires featured a bias ply construction, Coker Tire offers these tires in both original style bias ply and modern radial construction.

S Speed Rating

S Speed Rated: Up to 112 mph (180 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
