Anyone know of any manufacturers of raised white letter tires for the V6 stock 215 65r16 wheels? I have been to the michelin, goodyear, firestone and other dealer sites and can't find any. Also, if there are tires available with a rim upgrade to 17" let me know.

Thanks

Doug

Quote from my dad: dad giggles while riding in the passenger seat for the first time

me: What's so funny?
dad: this car gets alot of looks
me: yea I know...pretty cool huh?
dad: yea...too bad all the looks are from teenage boys...
me: yea...that sucks

 

Raised white letters are tough to find... espeically to fit our cars! I know.. I spent like 3 weeks looking! LOL!

Goodyear makes a RWL tire with "Nascar" on it (or are they yellow letter?) but it is slightly smaller than stock. Think it was in their Eagle line...

My big tires in the back are RWL but I they didn't make a tire to fit the front that was RWL... ARGH!!! I thought Cooper made a tire that would same as stock and was RWL but I didn't get it because I wanted a BIG back tire...

I don't think you'll find a 17 inch RWL that will fit your car... just not enough sidewall... or so I was told...



Good luck!

 

Welcome Doug!

 

What goes around comes around LOL. I remember like twenty years back when if you wanted decent performance tires it was nigh impossible to get them WITHOUT white lettering. Desperate folks that wanted blackwalls even had the white lettered tires mounted with the letters facing into the middle of the car. Things never seem to be just right LOL :bang:

 

Oh Gawd...Now that takes me back...The big white lettering tire to have in my day (on my 72 Chevelle) was Eagle GT's....Remember those?? *LOL*

 

Sure do...

 

Goodyear Eagle LS is the only one I find in that size. Its prolly the one with the NASCAR logo though.

Thanks guys...I am sure that in the next couple months something will come up. Firestone has a mean looking RWL tire that I would love to get but they just don't have the right size. dagnabbit

goodyear, bridgestone, and uniroyal have them in 225/60r16's

 

Any info if we would ever be able to get the BF Goodrich tires that came on the test 2005 Mustang? I want those soo bad but can't find any info on them at the BF Goodrich's site.

 

You can get that tire, but for show purposes they had them painted with those white sidewall markers.
I've thought of getting those markers, but they are only temporary before they begin to fade & look bad.

 

Oh thats sucks :bang:

 

Has anyone come across red pin stripe tires like on the early Mustangs and British sports cars? Just wondering if they are available...

 

I haven't seen those anywhere. I remember seeing a VW concept bug with a set on, but maybe they had a custom mockup.
They would look pretty good actually.

 

Just Google it! I knew they had to be out there somewhere. http://www.widewhitewalltires.com/index.htm check this site out for Red or Whitewall tiers... I'm thinking redwalls would look alright with Bullitts, what do ya think?

 

sweet!
Redlines on 17's or 18's with some bullits would look awesome!!

 

I used to have a set of cooper cobras on my tbird that were good tires and not too expensive.

 

moving to exterior mods since this has nothing to do with performance

 

Did you ever find or decide on a tire? got pics?
