The Coker Classic Star Series 185/80R13 whitewall tire is a modern radial tire with best-in-class speed, load and traction ratings. This tire features a 2.875-inch whitewall, which is built into the tire from day one for a long-lasting tire that offers the perfect look for your classic car. The wide whitewall fits many American compact cars from 1961 and earlier, and the 185/80R13 sizing is a direct replacement for 725-13 and also fits on cars that came with 650-13 bias ply tires. This includes Chevy Corvair, Ford Falcon and many European cars that came from the factory with 13-inch wheels. Coker Classic Star Series tires feature a 480AA UTQG rating, giving them excellent treadwear, traction and temperature control. Another best-in-class rating is the T speed rating (118mph), as well as XL load rating, thanks to a reinforced sidewall. The low-noise tread looks and performs nicely, and this tire is DOT approved and E-marked for the European market. You won't find a better whitewall radial tire on the market, you have our word on it!
These tires feature Grade-A traction and temperature ratings, meaning you can expect excellent handling and traction on wet and dry roads. We engineered the Coker Classic Star Series to outperform all other whitewall tires, and it features a 480 AA UTQG rating for long-lasting tread life and unbeatable traction. This makes your classic car safer to drive in all weather conditions and improves your driving experience.
The Coker Classic Star Series is engineered with a reinforced sidewall to better support the weight of classic cars. This reinforcement gives the tire Extra Load (XL) rating, meaning added safety and a long-lasting sidewall that won't break down over time. You can find the load rating for this tire in the specifications column.
This product features a genuine wide whitewall sidewall style. This means that the bright white rubber is added directly to the tire sidewall during initial construction of the carcass, resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality product after vulcanization. Wide whitewall tires were a very popular choice from the 1930's through the end of the 1950's, and were eventually phased out of mainstream production by 1962. Originally, wide whitewall tires featured a bias ply construction, but now Coker Tire offers them in original style bias ply and modern radial construction.
T Speed Rated: Up to 118 mph (190 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
