Authentic Bias Ply Construction

Bias ply construction was the industry standard from the early 1900s through the 1970s, with ply cords running at a 45-degree angle in a crisscross pattern. This gives the Premium Sport its strong, traditional lowrider stance and ride feel the most authentic choice for period-correct builds and restorations.

Genuine Integrated Whitewall

The bright white rubber on this tire is added directly to the sidewall during the tire’s initial construction not painted or applied afterward resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality whitewall that holds up over time.
