Ensign Beaded Edge Universal Motorcycle Tyre & Inner Tube.

The Dunlop Cord motorcycle tyre was one of the most popular designs of beaded-edge motorcycle tyre available into the modern era. Its twin-stud pattern, and ‘Cord’ sidewall markings (as well as ‘Extra Heavy Duty’ in the case of the larger sizes) became synonymous with any classic bike still running original beaded-edge tyres. When Dunlop ceased production it seemed that there would never be an alternative to keep these bikes running.

However, Vintage Tyres stepped in, and using Dunlop moulds, began production of beaded-edge motorcycle tyres in a range of sizes. These emulate the Dunlop pattern, aside from being marked as Ensigns. As well as motorcycle use, some of the larger sizes are suitable for use with period cyclecars, and light-cars.

This 24x2.25 Ensign beaded edge motorcycle tyre is a suitable fit for many early motorcycles.
