Coker Tire 518100 Excelsior Roadster Radial 450/475R16 2.25" Wide Whitewall Bias-Look Tire

The Coker Tire 518100 Excelsior Roadster Radial is a 450/475R16 bias-look radial tire featuring a classic 2.25-inch wide whitewall sidewall. Engineered to deliver the period-correct appearance of a vintage bias ply tire with the smooth ride and longevity of modern radial construction, this tire is the ideal choice for antique car restorations, hot rods, custom builds, and collector vehicles.

Bias-Look Radial Technology:

• Combines authentic vintage bias ply tire profile and sizing with modern radial construction
• Narrow tread and tall sidewall faithfully replicate the look of an original bias ply tire
• Piecrust shoulder and vintage-style sidewall lettering complete the period-correct aesthetic
• Built in brand-new molds using modern materials and tooling for improved tread life

Whitewall Details:

• Genuine 2.25-inch wide whitewall — runs all the way to the bead for a classic, full-width white band
• Bright white rubber is integrated directly into the sidewall carcass during initial construction and vulcanized in place for long-lasting color and durability

Tread Design:

• Traditional zigzag tread pattern with subtle siping for water evacuation without compromising vintage appearance
• Modern rubber compounds deliver improved ride quality and increased tread life versus bias ply tires
