6.00 x 16 Goodyear Blue streak 5

6.00x16 Goodyear Blue StreakTyres

The D600x16 Goodyear Blue Streak 5 would be the best cross ply tyre for a fast car on the road or track, in the dry. The 600-16 R5 is a road legal tyre unlike the 600L16 CR48 which is not e-marked and are not suited to road use.

The 600-16 600x16 Goodyear Blue Streak 5 is from the good old days, when you could drive your racing car to the track, race it, then drive it home again in true Longstone tyres style.

600-16 Tyres

Though the Dunlop Racing 600-16 R5 is an excellent cross ply tyre in the dry it is not really an ideal all round road tyre. The Jaguar XK Jaguars fitted 600-16 Dunlop RS5 and the Aston Martins of the fifties fitted 600-16 Avon TurboSpeed both these tyres are better all round road tyres if you want a crossply.

In the 50's and 60's the Top notch Italian marques were moving away from fitting Crossply Tyres. They moved onto 185R16 Michelin X or 185VR16 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67, the size 185R16 is a radial alternative to 600-16. If you specified to Aston Martin that you wanted your Feltham DB Aston Martin fitted with radial tyres like Maserati and Ferrari; Aston would have fitted the PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ 185VR16 CA67.

Michelin also make a 600-16 Pilote X which is an extremely high specification radial alternative to a 600-16 crossply tyre.

The Overall Diameter of the 600 x 16 R5 Dunlop Racing is 708 mm and the width is 198 mm.
