WARNING: May contain chemicals that may cause cancer or reproductive harm.Firestone Deluxe Champion tires are an excellent fit for restored classics, hot rods, and custom builds. Backed by a strong reputation for quality, these premium classic tires feature authentic Firestone tread patterns and genuine whitewall construction. They are designed for enthusiasts seeking both performance and period-correct style, and are backed by a limited tread life warranty. Available in select 13- to 16-inch fitments, these tires are a popular choice for many European and American classic vehicles.
Genuine Wide Whitewall Tire
Wide whitewall tires feature a continuous band of white rubber that extends all the way to the bead, unlike narrow whitewalls which stop short. The white rubber is integrated during the tire's construction and vulcanized into the sidewall, creating a durable and high-quality finish. This style was widely used into the early 1960s and remains a defining look for classic and collector cars.
Bias Ply Construction
Bias ply tire construction was commonly used from the early 1900s through the 1970s on passenger cars and light trucks. The ply cords are arranged at a 45-degree angle to the bead and overlap in a crisscross pattern, creating a strong and durable tire. While this design provides strength, bias ply tires can be more prone to following road imperfections compared to modern radial designs.
Firestone Tires for Collector Vehicles
Firestone's vintage tire lineup is designed to fit a wide range of classic vehicles from the 1900s through the 1970s, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The collection includes iconic styles such as Deluxe Champion, Non Skid, and Wide Oval tires. With options like whitewalls, redlines, and raised white letters, Firestone remains one of the most recognized and trusted brands for classic and collector vehicle restorations.
