When Did WIDE WHITEWALLS Go Out of Style?

Here at Coker Tire, we think that wide whitewall tires are always in style, but American automotive manufacturers phased out the wide whitewall in 1962, going for a more sporty look with narrow one-inch whitewalls. From there, whitewalls got smaller each year, until reaching the 3/8-inch pinstripe whitewall, as well as the other creative sidewalls such as redlines, gold lines and raised white letters. In this video, we'll walk you through the evolution of tires, using real world examples, such as a 1955 Ford Thunderbird (670-15 bias ply tires), a 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop (800-14 bias ply tires) and a 1962 Chevrolet Impala convertible, which is running a set of our American Classic 205/75R14 radials with an authentic one-inch whitewall.
