Wide whitewall tyres were a staple of the 1950s and always a popular choice for hot rods.
In most cases, cosmetics outweighed the performance of the tyre, until now, says Antique Tyres, which states the introduction of a new tyre offers best-in-class ratings and excellent handling.
The all-new Coker Classic Star Series whitewall tyres are engineered with brand-new moulds and compounds, with a sharp focus on balance and performance.
Antique Tyres says it is the only tyre of its kind built in North America, stating it is packed with industry-leading features that will improve the ride quality and safety of your classic car.
Coker Tire engineered the Coker Classic Star Series tyre with a low-noise tread pattern that retains a classic appearance.
With a UTQG rating of “480 AA”, the tyre’s treadwear and traction ratings offer a long tread life and excellent wet and dry traction.
Several sizes, especially those used on larger cars, are built with reinforced sidewalls, putting them in the Extra Load (XL) category, allowing heavier cars to run a few more pounds of air pressure, with a maximum of 42 psi.
All tyres in the Coker Classic Star Series product line feature a “best-in-class” T speed
rating, compliant for 190kph, with Antique Tyres stating all ratings are backed by third-party testing.
With 28 sizes to fit 13- through 17-inch wheels, this tyre is designed to work a wide range of applications.
Most of the size offering is focused on the 14- and 15-inch wheel range, which offers fitment on 1940s through 1970s classic cars and trucks, but also allows for staggered sizing for hot rods and custom builds.
Popular sizes like 165R15, 205/75R14 and 235/75R15 are included in the product line, as well as many others, offering fitments on Corvettes, Cadillacs, Volkswagens and more.
Many sizes are available in wide whitewall and narrow whitewall configurations, and the white sidewall is not added on after the tyre is manufactured – it is built from day one to be a whitewall tyre.
Antique Tyres says quality control is
paramount with the Coker Classic Star Series, explaining that high quality wrapping prevents whitewall damage during shipping, which means this tyre does not have the blue coating on the whitewall.
Several sizes are currently available at Antique Tyres, with more shipments on the way.
