Avon’s high-performance period crossplies developed under the name ‘Turbospeed’ throughout the 1950s and 60s, and were fitted as standard equipment to many of the fastest cars of the day. Avon still manufactures the Turbospeed today, with period-correct patterns.

The Turbospeed is available in a range of sizes to suit a variety of vehicles from the period, and with tread and sidewall designs that were developed in period for each size’s intended use. At the time they were fitted to the fastest cars around, and carried appropriate the speed and load ratings for them. If you are looking for period-correct looks and performance for your post-war Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin or Jaguar, the Turbospeed was frequently the original-equipment tyre.

This 670H15 size Avon Turbospeed crossply is ideal for: Aston Martin DB5 and DB6; Jensen Interceptor / FF Mk1 and C-V8; Mercedes 300SL Gullwing and Roadster; Rover P5B; Bristol 410 and 411; Humber Super Snipe; Riley 2.6; Simca Vedette.

This is a tubeless high-speed cross ply car tyre.
