5.50-18 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA

5.50-18 Tyres

In the 1930s, many of the world's best vintage sportscar manufacturers moved away from 19” wheels and tyres to fitting 5.50-18. Vintage cars like 6C Alfa Romeo, Type 57 Bugatti, and 3½ and 4¼-Litre Derby Bentley. Today, we would suggest that the best handling tyre for these historic cars would be the 5.50-18 Pirelli Stella Bianca. The structure of these fantastic tyres is ideally suited to the chassis set of these cars and will offer fabulous directional stability considering these are still crossply tyres, with plenty of grip and progressive handling.

5.50-18 Inner Tubes

Tyres such as this 5.50-18 Stella Bianca from the 1930s do need fitting with an inner tube. We would suggest that the Michelin 17/18 H RET inner tube is reinforced and will suit these tyres perfectly.

The overall diameter of the 5.50-18 Pirelli Stella Bianca is 762 mm, and the width is 160 mm. For more information on the 5.50-18 Pirelli Stella Bianca please see below or email us at info@longstonetyres.co.uk or call: +44 (0) 1302 711 123.
