New tires with white letters out?

[kbuicker]

Has anyone gotten new tires with white lettering? My Star White Lariat might look good with some flare . What brand/model tires did you get? Pics anyone?

Not too many tires these days being made with white lettering (whitewall printing). But whatever floats your boat. Could look nice if done right.

I am laughing at this. Why? Because for years, people bitched about white letters, and put tires on with them on the inside to hide them. Now they are basically gone, and you want them back.

Shows how you can never satisfy everyone.

It always comes full circle. Look at the haircuts and clothes kids wear these days to look cool. There is NO WAY we, at least me over 50, would be caught dead with a bowl cut.

I dunno... My dad's '59 Vette sure looked good with whitewalls.

You're not seriously comparing a modern vehicle to a "59 Vette, are you? You could put polka dotted tires on a '59 and it would still look good.

No, I'm just saying the whole whitewalls/ white lettering needs to match appropriately to the rest of the vehicle. I really don't see it working on this truck at all. It would just be kinda wrong. But some people just can't let go of the nostalgia... It's like steelies on a Bronco, white ones especially. Ford even making Heritage Edition Broncos and Bronco Sports that have mock steelies in white, white grilles, etc... Makes me want to puke, but people are buying them and I'm seeing them on the road.

Sort of like this. Yuck. And I had a 2-tone 1987.

Also, I'm one of those who could care less about the negativity of others, I instantly count their opinion as useless.

Let's be clear, there is a HUGE difference in the term, 'white wall' and white lettering . White wall reminds me of those modern day white walls called, Vogue or something like that, that are on Cadillacs.

I used to like white letters, until it came time to clean them. At the time I had white letters I also wore calf high white socks with shorts.

I think white letters went out of favor because wheels became more fancy.

Go with the look you like.

The calf high socks, with the yellow and green stripe was a hot look.
