Salmson AL Classic Tyres
- The Salmson AL cyclecars fitted 710 x 90 tyres however they often switched to fitting 27 x 4.40 tyres due to them being more readily available at the time and as they were the more modern well based, wired on alternative to 710 x 90 tyres.
- The size description of 27 x 4.40 refers to a 27" approximate overall diameter with a tyre section width of 4.4" leaving a rim size of 19" in diameter. This description was soon out of fashion and subsequently replaced with either 4.50 - 19 or 4.00 - 19.
- Our recommended fitment for a Salmson AL is the 4.00/4.50 x 19 Longstone. These have been specially designed for vintage cars of the 1920s such as the Frazer-Nash and Bugatti Type 35. We recommend using the Michelin Kleber Offset Valve Inner Tube.
- If you wish to keep the original 710 x 90 fitment, then we recommend fitting the 710 x 90 Ensign Chevron Cord. We recommend installing the Central Valve H/D Michelin Inner Tube 710X90.
History of the Salmson AL
In 1913, Salmson created their motoring divison, Société des Moteurs Salmson (SMS). The Billancourt factory owned by Salmson was adapted into their car manufacturing plant. The firm had no experience in car manufacturing prior to this. Before they commenced car manufacture, Salmson was developing aeroplane engines and a biplane during the war effort. Salmson started producing the GN cyclecar under license, later displaying six of these cars at the 1919 Paris Motor Show.
The Salmson AL was developed in 1920. The AL utilised the Emile Petit-built, four-cylinder engine that featured the unique pushrod actuated valve system. Pushing the rod opened the exhaust and pulling the rod opened the inlet. Notable victories for the AL include the 24 hours of le mans (1926-1928) and the 200 Miles of the Brooklands (1922 - 1925).
