Brand: Pirelli, Width: 6.00 | 503 & 507

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>BMW&nbsp;503 &amp; 507</strong></span></p> <p>These two models were special, based on modified 501 and 502 platforms, and with the OHV V8 engine BMW had newly developed. The 503 was a 4 seat coupe and convertible, and the 507 was a beautiful 2 seat roadster. The styling and marketing were squarely aimed at the US market, but the high cost of the cars damaged sales, and nearly broke BMW.</p> <p>Standard tyre for the 503 was a 600-15, or 640-15 crossply from 1955 to 1958. Cars from 1958 onwards had a 16-inch wheel, and a 600-16 tyre.</p>
