Pirelli Stella Bianca Tire - 6.00-16

During the 1950s, the majority of elite supercars worldwide predominantly employed 6.00-16 bias ply tires. It’s the sole bias ply tire boasting a V speed rating, making it an ideal choice for vehicles.

The 6.00-16 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA tire tread pattern was advanced for its era and prominently featured trapezoidal blocks intricately linked by robust “bridges.” These design elements were meticulously crafted to prevent tearing, even at elevated speeds. Remarkably, this innovative tread design maintained its originality and remained mostly consistent until the 1950s, serving as a testament to the tire’s superior performance and steadfast reliability. The Stella Bianca was “V” speed rated to 149 mph.
