Firestone is one of America’s oldest tyre manufacturers, producing tyres for the pioneers of US car design. From the earliest smooth pneumatic tyres, through the development of tread patterns and new construction methods, Firestone has grown into a company producing a huge variety of tyres. Its involvement in motorsport is legendary, with 60 wins of the Indianapolis 500 to its name. It also still produces many of its most iconic tyres from many eras of motoring.

Firestone’s Deluxe Champion tyre designs are from the glory-days of American motoring style. From the 1950s to the 70s styling was the cornerstone of US car design, and the tyre industry responded with more extravagant patterns and sidewalls. These tyres are made in original moulds, and have a variety of tread and shoulder designs, all to suit the cars they are fitted to, and they are available as either blackwall or whitewalls. These whitewalls have varying thicknesses depending on the tyre size.

This 670-16 Firestone Deluxe Champion blackwall crossply tyre has a traditional Firestone zig-zag tread pattern and a classic pie-crust upper sidewall edge. It is a suitable fitment for: Rolls Royce Silver Dawn; Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 and Star Sapphire; AC 2 Litre; Austin A110/A120/A125/A135; Bentley Mk6 and R-Type; Jaguar MkVII and MkVIIM; Maserati 3500GT; Daimler Regency, One-O-Four and Majestic; Riley Pathfinder; and an occasional option fitment on AC Ace and Aceca.
