Coker Tire 518101 Excelsior Roadster 450/475R16 Bias-Look Radial Tire Blackwall

The Coker Tire 518101 is an Excelsior Roadster bias-look radial tire in size 450/475R16 with a classic blackwall sidewall. Engineered to deliver the authentic period-correct appearance of a vintage bias ply tire while leveraging modern radial construction, this tire is an ideal choice for classic car restorers, hot rod builders, and collector car enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on either style or performance.

The term "bias-look radial" — pioneered by Coker Tire — means this tire replicates the tall sidewall, narrow tread profile, and piecrust shoulder silhouette of an original vintage tire, while the radial carcass delivers a noticeably smoother ride and longer tread life than a true bias ply tire.

Key Features:

• Bias-Look Radial Construction — authentic vintage profile with modern radial performance
• Size: 450/475R16
• Sidewall: Blackwall
• Overall Diameter: 25.75 in.
• Section Width: 4.75 in.

• Tall sidewall and piecrust shoulder for an authentic period-correct look
• Sold individually

Important Note: Excelsior Roadster tires require an inner tube due to the design of period-correct wheels, which are not airtight. Compatible heavy-duty tubes with proper valve hardware are available separately from Coker Tire.

As the official tire of the Grand National Roadster Show, the Excelsior Roadster line is a proven choice for restored race cars, custom hot rods, and classic American and European collector vehicles.
