U.S. Royal Narrow Whitewall tires were OE fitments on many of the legendary freeway cruisers of the sixties. Whitewall tires were very popular on the full-size sedans and luxury cars of that era. Coker Tire Company offers a full lineup authentic U.S Royal tires, made in the USA in the original molds and backed by our life of the tread warranty. Please note that dimensions listed tread width, section width and overall diameter are non-scientific and based on an inflated tire, mounted on a wheel. Dimensions may vary due to rim width and inflation pressure. Tread patterns and sidewall styles vary, please click on individual tires below to view photos.
This product features a genuine narrow whitewall sidewall style. This means that 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. When we reference "narrow whitewall" tires, we typically mean a whitewall that measures less than two inches, but it can also mean a whitewall that does not reach all the way into the bead. Narrow whitewall tires are popular for many cars built in 1960's all the way into the 1990's.
Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.

The United States Rubber Company, established in 1892 in Naugatuck, Connecticut, was a prominent American manufacturer of tires and other rubber products. Operating under the brand name "U.S. Royal," the company produced tires that became standard equipment for many automobiles from World War II through the 1960s.
In 1961, the company rebranded itself as Uniroyal, Inc., unifying its various products and subsidiaries under a single name. This rebranding marked a significant shift in the company's identity and market presence.
One of the company's most notable marketing achievements was the creation of the Giant Uniroyal Tire for the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair. Originally functioning as a Ferris wheel, this 80-foot-tall structure was designed by the same architectural firm responsible for the Empire State Building. After the fair, the tire was relocated to Allen Park, Michigan, where it remains a landmark along Interstate 94.
In 1990, Uniroyal was acquired by the French tire manufacturer Michelin, ceasing to exist as an independent entity. Today, the Uniroyal brand continues under Michelin's ownership, maintaining its legacy in the tire industry.
