White letter tires are growing on me.... again...
I grew up in a time when tires just weren't cool unless they had white lettering. They fell out of fashion forever and within the last couple years I have seen people adding lettering to new tires. I thought the idea was terrible at first, but I have seen some cars that it works really well on. I am really debating going down this road on my next set of tires. Post up some pics if you are running any.

As long as it's what the tire is. Saw a youtube video where some guy put Goodyear stickers on the Conti DWS06.

I used to like the white letters back in the '80s or so. I'm not a fan of the stick on letters that are a bit larger than the black lettering on the tire.

Ahh who can forget scrubbing those suckers with Westley’s Bleach-white to keep them looking sharp. I grew up in that time too. My 04 pickup rocked white letters from the factory.

White letters on low profile tires looks ridiculous. LS & LT1 standard tires OK I guess. (Remember old skool Cragers were 14/15 inch rims with beefy tires.)
