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 205/55R16 radial tires offer the right look for your classic car, thanks to the white sidewall and stylish tread pattern. The 1.5 inch 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 American Classic radial whitewall tires 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.

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, but now Coker Tire offers them in original style bias ply and modern radial construction.

American Classic Tires for Collector Cars

Our line of American Classic radial tires includes P-metric radials (such as 235/75R15) and our famous "bias look radial" (such as 670R15). We offer American Classic radial tires in wide whitewall, narrow whitewall, and black sidewall in select sizes, developed specifically for 1940's, 1950's and 1960's classic cars. These tires feature a classic tread design and a beautiful sidewall that's built into the tire from day one of production.
