Firestone | 2.375 Inch Whitewall | 440/450-21

This Firestone 440/450-21 bias ply tire is perfect for a Ford Model A, and many late '20s American automobiles. The tire features a 2 3/8 inch wide whitewall, which is authentic for the '20s. Firestone Wide Whitewall tires are exceptional fitments for vintage car restoration projects. These tires are expertly hand-crafted in the USA, using refurbished original molds. They feature authentic tread designs and sidewall markings. These tires feature beautiful genuine whitewall construction and are great tires for Model A Fords and similar era automobiles. Firestone Bias Ply wide whitewall tires are a premium tire choice for fine antique automobiles.

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.

Bias Ply Construction

Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.

Question:
does coker produce a radial tire in 19" or 21" that will fit on model A fords?
By jeff on August 13, 2018
Answer:

Take a look at our Excelsior Stahl Sport Radials. We have witnessed folks use the 500R19 with success, but the 550/600R21 is likely a bit too large for original Model A rims. Click Here
