Firestone MC Deluxe Champion Universal 500-16

The Deluxe Champion (or Champion Deluxe) is very much a tyre of two uses. Originally designed before WW2, it was standard fitment to many 1930s and 40s US bikes, and continued into the postwar period in that market. So, it’s ideal for a classic Harley from those heady days, which is why Firestone has kept the tyre in production into the 21^stcentury. The survival of this uniquely styled classic tyre has allowed its adoption by the bike customisation scene, particularly for café racers and bobbers, giving it a second life.

A universal style tyre, it can be fitted as a front or rear, the Deluxe Champion is available in a range of sizes suitable for American bikes from the 1930s to the 50s. However, with its popularity for custom bikes, this range allows for its use on many different types of bike. If you have any queries about suitable sizing, please contact Vintage Tyres to discuss your fitment.

This 500-16 Firestone Deluxe Champion crossply motorcycle tyre is a suitable fit for: Sunbeam S7; Harley-Davidson FL.
