Firestone | 550-16

This Firestone tire features a bias ply construction and the 550-16 sizing is authentic for many European sports cars, such as 1956 through 1966 A.C., 1951 through 1959 Jensen and more. They are also authentic for American cars, such as 1937 through 1940 Fords with the V8-60 engine, 1933 through 1941 Willys and more. The 550-16 is also a popular choice for the front of hot rods, as it is a little smaller than stock. Firestone bias ply tires are exceptional fitments for vintage car restoration projects. These tires are expertly hand-crafted in refurbished original molds and feature authentic tread designs and sidewall markings. Firestone Bias Ply Inch wide whitewall tires are a premium tire choice for fine antique automobiles and they're made right here in the USA!

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.
