5.00/5.25-16" Black and White wall
The new European Classic 5.00/5.25-16" tyre with 75-mm whitewall is produced in Europe and designed to offer classic whitewall styling with the classic pattern from the old days. An ideal choice for classic antique cars. The tyre has a modern tubeless construction to avoid flat spots but it is also designed to be used with tubes. The tyre is the only E-marked tyre in this size, and it is 100% road-legal for use in Europe and DOT-marked for the US market.
To avoid the classic familiar staining problem, the tyres are produced in 100% stainless black rubber, which minimises browning/yellowing of the white rubber.
