NEW ORIGINAL LINCOLN SPECIALTY TIRES FOR A CONFORTABLE RIDE

NEW ORIGINAL LINCOLN SPECIALTY TIRES FOR A CONFORTABLE RIDE. Lincoln was the first American car company to use a Michelin tire as original equipment. From 1970-1972, Michelin supplied Lincoln with the size 225R15 with a 3/8″ white stripe for the Mark III, Mark IV and the Continental.

From 1973-75, the size was changed to 230R15, still using the 3/8″ white stripe. The 225R15 and 230R15 were almost identical in dimensions. From 1976-78, no Michelins were used.

For that time period, Lincoln was using newly developed domestic radials in small whitewalls, but the optional whitewall style of that period was the Jubilee style.

We have the correct dimensions recorded for exact reproduction of this unique and distinctive style. In 1979, Lincoln went back to the 225R15 Michelin, this time with a 3/4″ whitewall.
