6.00 - 16 White Wall Tyres


The tyre dimension 6.00 - 16 gained immense popularity across numerous cars during the 1950s. The 6.00 - 16 General white wall tyre offers exceptional value, with a whitewall aesthetic within this size range. However, for sportier vehicles such as the Aston Martin DB4 or the Jaguar XK we recommend a tyre with a carcass better suited to sporting speeds and handling.

For these high-performance cars, a more fitting choice would be the 6.00-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA, which serves as a performance-oriented crossply from that era. Alternatively, the 185 VR 16 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 offers a radial option for improved performance.

The aesthetic appeal of whitewall tyres does not align so closely with European sports cars, as this style was more prevalent across the Atlantic.

A wide array of American automobiles have been equipped with 6.00-16 tyres, many of them sporting the iconic whitewall look at some point. This category includes models like the 1947 Dodge Custom 6, the 1935-1950 Ford V8-60, and the 1951 Ford 6 Custom, as well as various Chevrolet and Oldsmobile models spanning 1939 to 1948. These cars can all benefit from the 6.00 - 16 General Whitewall tyre, notable for its white wall and authentic 1950s American tread pattern that adds an extra level of historical authenticity.


6.00 - 16 Innertubes


For optimal compatibility with a 6.00 - 16 General White Wall tyre or any tyre within the 6.00 - 16 size category, the Michelin 16F Offset Valve Reinforced Inner Tube is the recommended choice. Among the available innertubes, Michelin's tubes stand out due to their exceptional quality and durability. This is particularly valuable for crossply tyres, as they generally put more stress on innertubes than radial tyres. Investing in the superior quality of Michelin tubes, such as the 16F reinforced innertube, regularly proves to be a wise decision.


The Overall Diameter of the 6.00 - 16 General Whitewall is 724 mm, the width is 170 mm and the 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.
