Finding a high speed rated tire designed specifically for vintage vehicles is a challenge, but we have a solution with the Avon Turbosteel radial product line. This particular tire features 670R16 sizing, an excellent choice for European sports cars with 16-inch wheels. 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 appearance for your classic 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.
The term "bias look radial" is something that Coker Tire created when we introduced the American Classic bias look radial product line. This means the tire has the appearance and the sizing profiles of a vintage bias ply tire, with modern radial construction. This provides an original look with a smooth ride and longer tread life, compared to bias ply tires. We offer bias look radial tires for vehicles ranging from the 1920's through the 1970's.
