Excelsior Roadster Blackwall Radial Tire - 600R16
The Excelsior Roadster bias-look radial tire is engineered to deliver the classic appearance of a traditional bias ply tire while providing the smooth ride and performance of a modern radial. Developed by Coker Tire, this tire blends vintage styling with contemporary construction, making it a popular choice for collectors seeking both authenticity and improved drivability.
The Tire You've Been Waiting For
The Excelsior Roadster lineup includes five carefully designed sizes, with the popular 600R16 offering original-equipment fitment for 1935 to 1948 Ford passenger cars and light-duty trucks through the 1950s. Additional sizes accommodate larger cars, trucks, and staggered hot rod setups. The full size range includes 450/475R16, 600R16, 650R16, 700R16, and 750R16, covering many American and select European vehicles from the 1930s and 1940s.
Unmatched Authentic Details
Available in both wide whitewall and blackwall styles, the Excelsior Roadster tire delivers an authentic look for restored classics, survivor vehicles, and luxury sedans. The narrow tread, tall sidewall, pie crust shoulder, and vintage-style sidewall lettering closely replicate the appearance of original bias ply tires, while still benefiting from modern radial technology.
The Best 1930-40s Bias Look Radial
Excelsior Roadster tires feature a traditional zigzag tread pattern with subtle siping to improve water evacuation without compromising their vintage appearance. Unlike true bias ply tires, these radial tires use modern materials and construction methods, resulting in a smoother ride and longer tread life. These tires require inner tubes due to the nature of vintage wheels, and compatible heavy-duty tubes are available for proper installation.
Blackwall Tire
Blackwall tires have been the standard since the introduction of carbon black in tire manufacturing. Their solid black sidewall offers a clean, classic, and understated appearance that remains popular among British sports cars, classic trucks, and hot rods. The timeless look makes them a go-to choice for period-correct builds.
XL Load Rating
XL, or "Extra Load," indicates that the tire is reinforced to carry heavier loads than standard tires of the same size. This added strength is especially useful in classic applications, where the sidewall may more closely resemble the appearance and flex characteristics of original bias ply tires.
Bias Look Radial Tire
The term "bias look radial" refers to tires that maintain the visual characteristics and proportions of vintage bias ply tires while using modern radial construction. This design offers the best of both worlds: authentic styling paired with improved ride comfort, handling, and tread life compared to traditional bias ply tires.
Excelsior Roadster Radial Tires
Excelsior Roadster radial tires are designed for 16-inch wheels and are widely recognized for their vintage-inspired appearance and modern performance. With features like a zigzag tread pattern, pie crust shoulder, and authentic proportions, they are an ideal choice for classic American and European vehicles.
