Finding a speed rated bias ply tire is a challenge, but we have the solution with this Avon Turbospeed high speed crossply tire. It features 670-16 sizing, a perfect fit for Bently, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar saloons. The tire features an H speed rating, providing safe service up to 130 miles per hour. The classic tread pattern and smooth black sidewall are the right choice for any 1950's or early 1960's sports car. This is a tubeless tire, but your application, especially those with wire wheels may require a tube and/or rim strip.
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.
H Speed Rated: Up to 130 mph (210 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
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.
