Blackwall Tire
Since the introduction of carbon black, most tires have featured a solid black sidewall. This classic blackwall style offers a clean, understated look that is highly favored among enthusiasts of British sports cars, classic trucks, and hot rods. Its period-correct appearance makes it a timeless choice for restorations.
Bias Ply Construction
Bias ply tire construction was widely used from the early 1900s through the 1970s on passenger cars and light trucks. The ply cords run at a 45-degree angle to the bead and overlap in a crisscross pattern, creating a strong and durable tire. While strong, bias ply tires may follow road imperfections more than modern radial tires.
Firestone Dragster Cheater Tires
Firestone Dragster tires are bias ply cheater slicks designed with just enough tread to be DOT-approved. These retro-inspired tires deliver a classic drag-style appearance and are available in both black sidewall and wide whitewall options. Offered in select sizes for 15- and 16-inch wheels, they are ideal for period-correct builds and custom applications.
