Classic Cars

We stock popular classic tyre sizes, and if not readily available, we can source most vintage, classic, or muscle car tyres through our international network of specialist suppliers. We also offer a range of tubes and whitewall inserts.

Understanding Cross-Ply vs. Radial Tyres

Modern radial tyres aren’t exact size replacements for classic cross-ply tyres, as cross-ply tyres have a taller sidewall profile—typically between 95% and 100% of the tyre’s width, compared to the tallest radial profile of 80%. This difference means radial tyres generally appear smaller within the wheel arch than cross-ply tyres.

However, there are many widely used radial alternatives that can replace cross-ply tyres, which we’ve outlined in the table below as a general guide (not a specific recommendation). Radial tyres typically require higher inflation pressure than cross-ply tyres for optimal performance.

For assistance in choosing the right tyres for your classic vehicle, please email us your car’s details and we’ll provide tailored recommendations to match your needs.

Balancing classic car wheels demands a specialized skill set and equipment to ensure accurate results. Our facility is equipped with advanced wheel balancing tools specifically designed for:

• Wire wheels – to accurately replicate mounting on splined hubs

• Lug-Centric Steel Wheels:  Ensures precision balance, which standard equipment cannot achieve for wire or vintage wheels.
