Genuine Narrow Whitewall Tire - Typically wide whitewalls run all the way to the bead. Narrow whitewalls will stop somewhere before the bead, resulting in a narrower band of exposed white rubber. The bright white rubber is added directly to the tire sidewall during initial construction of the carcass, resulting in a truly integrated, high-quality product after vulcanization. This style became popular in the early sixties, eventually replacing wide whitewalls altogether. S Speed Rating S Speed Rated: Up to 112 mph (180 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
