Price: £0.00 - £999.99, Tyre Size: 185/80R16 (185R16), Width: 185 | Bristol 401, 402 & 403 1948 to 1955
The 401 and its 403 successor were a sales success for Bristol, and the 402 convertible is very rare alternative.
The 401 was fitted with a 550-16 crossply until 1951, when it was equipped with either a 575-16, or optional 600-16 until the end of production. Radial replacement sizes for the 550-16 would be 550R16 or 165R16. 185R16 or 600R16 radials can replace the 600-16 crossply.
The 402 was specified with a 550-16 crossply tyre. Radial replacement sizes for the 550-16 would be 550R16 or 165R16.
The 403 was equipped with either a 575-16, or optional 600-16 tyre. 185R16 or 600R16 radials can replace the 600-16 crossply.
Please bear in mind the performance of these vehicles when purchasing tyres, they need to be suitable for 100mph capable cars. Please contact us for information, or to check on radial replacements.
The 401 took the 400's excellent mechanicals and took a huge risk on the styling. It's very modern looks and wind-tunnel aerodynamics were state-of-the-art. It worked, especially when the 403 upgrade gained more power. The 402 convertible was very rare and expensive, but the coupes sold well enough to provide Bristol with an undying reputation for sophistication and quality.
