Coker Tire - 518103

The Excelsior Roadster bias-look radial tire is designed to provide the traditional look of a bias ply tire while offering the smooth ride of a modern radial. Coker Tire has perfected this combination of old and new, as evidenced by the success of its previous bias-look radial tires, but this all-new Excelsior tire brings it into new segments of the collector car market. The new product line features five sizes, including the most popular 600R16 to provide O.E. fitments on 1935 to 1948 Ford passenger cars, as well as light-duty trucks into the 1950s. Other sizes offer fitment on larger passenger cars and trucks, and the group of sizes allows for excellent staggered fitments for hot rods. The complete size lineup includes: 450/475R16, 600R16, 650R16, 700R16 and 750R16. These sizes cover most American makes and models from the 1930s and 1940s, as well as select European sports cars. Available in wide whitewall and traditional black sidewalls, the new tire is aesthetically pleasing for restored antique cars, survivors, hot rods, luxury sedans, classic trucks and more. The narrow tread and tall sidewall perfectly replicate the appearance of an original bias ply tire. Add to that a piecrust shoulder and vintage-style sidewall lettering and you have the ultimate radial tire for traditional 16-inch wheels. Excelsior Roadster tires feature a traditional zigzag tread with subtle siping to evacuate water without distracting from the vintage appearance. Modern materials and construction techniques give this tire a smooth ride quality and increased tread life, compared to bias ply tires. Excelsior Roadster tires require a tube, due to the wheels of the era, which are not airtight. Coker Tire offers heavy-duty tubes with proper valve hardware for most applications.
