American Classic Radial 1 Inch Whitewall 820R15

Description

820R15 Bias Look Radial Narrow Whitewall Tire

Our American Classic Bias Look Radial tires have been extremely popular and we’re expanding the product line with new narrow whitewall tires to fit cars from the 1960’s, when wide whitewalls were phased out in favor of one-inch whitewalls. These tires feature the narrow tread profile, piecrust shoulder and original style sizing for classic cars. The modern radial construction offers excellent ride quality, handling, tread life and safety, compared to bias ply tires.

Genuine Narrow Whitewall Tire

Typically wide whitewalls run all the way to the bead. Narrow whitewalls will stop somewhere before the bead, resulting in a narrower band of exposed white rubber. 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. This style became popular in the early sixties, eventually replacing wide whitewalls altogether.

S Speed Rating

S Speed Rated Up to 112 mph (180 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.

Bias Look Radial Tire

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.

American Classic Radial Tires

American Classic tires are made in the USA and designed for use on classic cars, hot rods and customs. The most popular product line under the American Classic brand is the bias look radial, a tire that looks like a vintage bias ply tire but rides and handles like a modern radial tire.

American Classic Tires for Collector Cars

American Classic radial tires includes P-metric radials (such as 235/75R15) and the famous “bias look radial” (such as 670R15). American Classic radial tires are offered 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.

Typically the sizing is the same as their Bias Ply equivalents with the addition of ‘R’ in the size value. Tire mounted on wheel for demonstration purposes only. Wheel and other accessories are not included. Please note that dimensions listed (tread width, section width and overall diameter) are non-scientific and based on an inflated tire, mounted to a wheel. Dimensions may vary due to rim width and inflation pressure.
