The Travelstar UN106 is widely praised by owners of classic cars, luxury cruisers, and lowriders for its hard-to-find thin whitewall aesthetic and exceptional ride comfort. Users consistently highlight its smooth, quiet performance on vehicles like the Lincoln Town Car and classic Mustangs, though minor trade-offs include rolling resistance and occasional cosmetic issues with the whitewall coloring.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
61/100From 13 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Authentic and attractive thin whitewall design that is hard to find in specific sizes
- Extremely smooth and quiet ride quality, handling rough and cobbled roads exceptionally well
- Durable construction with reliable grip and long-lasting tread life
- Affordable pricing offering great value compared to major tire dealers
Cons
- Slightly increased rolling resistance and drag compared to harder, economy-focused tires
- Whitewall can occasionally discolor, turning from blue to brown instead of staying bright white
Worth knowing
- Highly favored by Lincoln Town Car owners (specifically models from 2003 to 2012) for achieving the correct factory look and smooth ride.
- Popular within the lowrider and wire wheel community on 155x80x13 sizes due to its meaty profile and good grip.
- Well-received on classic vehicles such as the 1965 Ford Mustang and older Buick models requiring traditional styling.
