Straight Sided Tyres

This style of vintage tyre (oldtimer tyre) was very popular with the American market, and in the mid twenties some European manufacturers.

These oldtimer tyres differ from the beaded edge tyre in that a solid wire in the bead ensures the bead cannot stretch and will always have a diameter slightly smaller than that of the rim.

Straight-sided vintage tyres (oldtimer tyres)are fitted to a rim which has a detachable flange on one side, or a split rim which can be reduced in diameter to aid removal and fitting.

All prices are plus VAT.
