Launched on the market in 1927, STELLA BIANCA was the tyre that brought together all the innovations introduced during the Twenties including “cord” carcass fabric, low inflation pressure, “straight side” bead profile. Development testing was also conducted on the track with Alfa Romeo. With the STELLA BIANCA tread pattern technology also made a big step forward, featuring a sophisticated combination of trapezoidal blocks that are tightly anchored together by robust “bridges” to prevent tearing at high speed. This tread remained almost identical until the fifties and was eventually used in Formula 1 with Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati.
