Wolseley Hornet Tyres

Wolseley Hornet 6 (1930-1936)

The 1930s Wolseley Hornet fitted a range of different sizes throughout its initial 5-year production:

In the 525 - 16 Tyres size we suggest the 5.00/5.25 x 16 Avon Tourist fitted with Michelin 16E innertubes.
For sporty Hornet models Longstone recommends a set of 500/525-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA tyres.
Of the 475 - 18 Tyres we recommend fitting the 4.75/5.25 x 18 Michelin D.R with a set of Michelin 17/18E innertubes.
In the 27 - 4 Tyres size (now more commonly expressed as 4.00-19) we suggest either the 4.00/4.50 x 19 Michelin D.R. for overall quality and performance, or the 4.00/4.50 x 19 Longstone for good value and more casual driving.
The Michelin tyre drives best with Michelin 19MFR Central Valve inner tubes, and the Longstone tyre requires either the Michelin 19MFR Central Valve or the Michelin Kleber Offset Valve innertube, depending on your wheel type.

Wolseley Hornet Mini (1961–69)

For Wolseley Hornet (1960s Mini) tyres a set of 145 SR 10 Dunlop SP Sport Aquajet is recommended by Longstone Tyres. The Dunlop Aquajet is a very familiar tread pattern and is built to a very good standard ideal for the Wolseley Hornet.
The 10" innertube is the best tube to fit these tyres.
Our period Innertube Guides suggest that from 1965 most Hornet's were released on tubeless wheels. The small size of these wheels makes categorising them as either tube-type or tubeless complicated. See our Innertube Page for more information on wheel types.

History of the Wolseley Hornet

Built between 1961-1969, the Wolseley Hornet (and Riley Elf) was a more luxurious version of the Mini that could be distinguished by its finned rear wings and elongated boot. There were three different versions of the Wolseley Hornet, with the Mark I using an 848 cc engine, the Mark II using a Mini Cooper's 998 cc engine and the mark II using the same engine but using disc brakes instead of drum brakes as well as lots of stylistic facelifts.
