750-16 Lester 5" Whitewall TireCommonly used on pre-war full bodied cars including Cadillac, LaSalle, Packard, etc., Lester tires add that classic touch to any vehicleFeatures:Smooth sidewall for stylish look and quiet rideWidest available whitewall in this size tire Made in USA.
This product features a genuine wide whitewall sidewall style. This means that the bright white rubber is added directly to the tire sidewall during initial construction of the carcass, resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality product after vulcanization. Wide whitewall tires were a very popular choice from the 1930's through the end of the 1950's, and were eventually phased out of mainstream production by 1962. Originally, wide whitewall tires featured a bias ply construction, Coker Tire offers these tires in both original style bias ply and modern radial construction.
Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.

The Lester Tire Company, founded by Tom Lester in the 1960s, became a prominent supplier in the vintage tire market. Originally named "Lincoln Highway," the company developed a reputation for producing high-quality tires suitable for both pre-war and post-war vehicles. Their products featured a pre-siped ribbed tread design, offering a smooth and quiet ride, and their classic sidewall styling became popular among classic car enthusiasts.
In 1982, Universal Vintage Tire Company acquired the assets of the Lester Tire Company, expanding their selection of vintage tires. At the time of acquisition, Lester Tire was an influential leader in the development and sales of antique and classic car tires. The addition of the Lester tire molds allowed Universal to create an inventory of tire sizes unparalleled elsewhere in the world.
Today, Lester tires continue to be available through Universal Vintage Tire, catering to the needs of classic car enthusiasts seeking authentic and reliable tire options for their vintage vehicles. The enduring legacy of the Lester Tire Company reflects its significant contribution to the preservation and enjoyment of classic automobiles.
Lester tires are manufactured in authentic molds, using bias ply construction. We offer the Lester Tire brand in nearly 40 sizes, ranging from the Brass Era into the 1960's. Rim diameters range from 14 to 23 inches in conventional bias ply tires, and we also offer two High Pressure tires in the Lester brand. There are many Pre-War fitments, such as the classic 600-16 size, but we also offer hard-to-find sizes for 17 and 18 inch wheels from the 1930's. Scroll through the many sizes and styles and find the right fit for your classic car.
