Blackwall Tire

Since the introduction of carbon black rocked the tire industry, the original recipe for most tires has been a solid black sidewall. For classics and collector cars alike, it’s hard to beat the no-nonsense appeal of a classic blackwall style tire. British sports car, classic truck and even hot rod enthusiasts love the way a nice period correct blackwall tire looks on their vehicles.

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.

Excelsior Bias Ply Tires

Excelsior bias ply tires offer hard-to-find sizes and styles for a wide variety of American and European classic cars. This size selection includes fitments for metric rims, and other unique European sizes.

Excelsior Vintage Tires

Excelsior tires feature vintage designs that are excellent for restored race cars, hot rods and custom builds. The Excelsior Roadster Radial is an all new Bias Look radial designed to look exactly like a bias ply and still provide great radial performance. This revolutionary tire works for both the Hot Rod and Restoration enthusiast segments. The Stahl Sport Radial is extremely popular with hot rodders who love to drive their cars, both for their stylish good looks and for their long-wearing performance on the road. From authentic Bias ply tires to cutting edge innovations for collectors, there’s an Excelsior tire for your Antique application.
