6.00 - 16 Whitewall Tires
The tire size 6.00 - 16 gained widespread popularity among various automobiles during the 1950s. Within this size range, the 6.00 - 16 General whitewall tire offers exceptional value with its distinctive whitewall appearance. However, for more performance-oriented vehicles like the Aston Martin DB4 or the Jaguar XK, we recommend opting for a tire with a construction better suited for spirited driving and handling.
For these high-performance cars, a more suitable choice would be the 6.00-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA, which serves as a performance-focused crossply tire from that era. Alternatively, the 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 offers a radial option for enhanced performance.
The aesthetic charm of whitewall tires was more closely associated with American automobiles, rather than European sports cars, and this style had a stronger presence across the Atlantic.
A diverse range of American cars were equipped with 6.00-16 tires, many of which showcased the iconic whitewall appearance at some point. This category includes models like the 1947 Dodge Custom 6, the 1935-1950 Ford V8-60, the 1951 Ford 6 Custom, as well as various Chevrolet and Oldsmobile models spanning 1939 to 1948. All these vehicles can significantly enhance their authenticity with the 6.00 - 16 General whitewall tire, featuring its white sidewall and an authentic 1950s American tread pattern that adds an extra layer of historical significance.
6.00 - 16 Inner Tubes
For optimal compatibility with a 6.00 - 16 General Whitewall tire or any tire within the 6.00 - 16 size range, the Michelin 16F Offset Valve Reinforced Inner Tube comes highly recommended. Among the available inner tubes, Michelin stands out due to its exceptional quality and durability. This holds particular importance for crossply tires, which generally impose more stress on inner tubes compared to radial tires. Opting for the superior quality of Michelin tubes, such as the 16F reinforced inner tube, consistently proves to be a wise investment.
The Overall Diameter of the 6.00x16 General Whitewall is 724 mm, the width is 170 mm and size of the Whitewall is 89 mm.

Maintaining White Wall or White Letter Tyres
Whitewall or raised white letters tyres will need continual maintenance; they are not a fit and forget item. You will need to keep the tyres clean, usually just with hot soapy water.
NEVER USE tyre shine products on Whitewall or RWL letters, many of these products have enhancers for black tyres that will discolour the white rubber permanently.
