Ensign B5 450-19 Classic & Vintage Tyres |

Ensign B5 450-19

One of Dunlop’s most popular crossply tyre designs, the B5 became the default choice for many British saloon and sportscars from the 1930s into the post-war period. As such it remained in production for the classic-car market until Fort Dunlop finally closed in the 21st Century! It’s distinctive tread-pattern and square shoulder made it easily recognisable. Vintage Tyres have developed a replacement B5 pattern tyre via its historical relationship with Dunlop, and using original moulds. The result is manufactured in the UK as the Ensign B5, and is available in various sizes to suit 17, 18, 19 and 20 inch wheels.

This 450-19 size Ensign B5 is an ideal tyre for the MG T-Series cars that originally took this dimension tyre. The Dunlop B5 was original equipment for the TC version for example. It also fits various other cars, such as the; Riley 9 and Brooklands, MG Midget and Magna, Lea Francis 1.5 Litre, Lagonda Rapier, Bugatti 35, 37 and 40, and various 1930s Frazer-Nash models, BMW 328, Fiat 509 and Salmson models.

Replaces 27x4.40, and is a tube-type tyre.
