Facel Vega FV Tyres
Facel Vega FV
Facel Vega FV 1954–1959
- The original tyre sizing for a Facel Vega FV was 6.70-15 cross ply.
- We would suggest fitting either 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 tyres, or 185 HR 15 Michelin XVS-P, being the best quality tyres in the size.
- The Michelin 15F is the right innertube for these tyres.
- Facel Vega FV tyre pressure - 30psi front and rear.
History of the Facel Vega FV
Moving away from being pure coach builders the Facel Vega FV was Facel's first attempt at a car built with engineering from De Soto. Built 1954-1958, the Facel Vega FV would later become the Facel Vega FVS moving from the original's 4.5 litre V8 to a Chrysler 5.4 litre V8.
