1954 Rover P4-90

1954 Rover P4-90

Rover P4 1949–1964


  • Some versions of the Rover P4 (Rover 80) fitted 640 - 15 Tyres as original equipment. The only available tyre in this size is the 640 H 15 Avon Super Safety.
  • According to our fitment guides, other editions of the P4 (Rover 75, 90) were equipped as standard with 6.00 - 15 tyres.
  • The only crossply tyres available in this exact size are Dunlop Racing tyres such as the 6.00 x 15 R5 Dunlop Racing, however these tyres are for track use and are not road legal.
  • If you don't plan on using your rover on a track then it would be better to fit a slightly different size of tyre such as the 640 H 15 Avon Super Safety, rather than fitting a tyre built for a different purpose.
  • For these tyres the Michelin 15F is the ideal innertube.
  • The equivalent radial size to both crossply sizes is 175 R15, but today there is not a tyre in this exact size that is well suited to the P4s.
  • We would suggest either moving down to a 165 R15 tyre, and fitting the 165 - 15 Michelin XAS , or moving up to 180 R15 and fitting the 180 HR 15 Michelin XAS, or the 165 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36.
  • For these tyres the Michelin 15E is the ideal innertube.
  • The P4 fitted tube-type wheels, innertubes are required for these wheels to function.

History of the Rover P4

Built between 1949-1964, the Rover P4 replaced the P3 as Rover's main group of saloon automobiles bringing across the same model designations (60, 75 and 90) to differentiate between them. It shared with the P5 the cheeky disparaging moniker of being a "poor man's Rolls Royce", but is also notable for being Rover's first attempt to Jet power a car with the "Jet 1"; the jet technology used in this car would go on to be the basis for Rolls Royce's jet engines. There were several different variants of the Rover P4; with the P4 75 (1949), P4 60 (1953), P4 90 (1953), P4 75 Mark II (1954), P4 105R/105S (1956), P4 80 (1959/1960), P4 100 (1960) and the P4 95/110 (1962) all being produced in its lifetime.
