White Letters on my tires?
I was wondering where I can find stock size tires, or thereabouts, with the white lettering on the sidewall. I've looked pretty hard for them but came up with nothing. What gives? Anyone have any links or places to find them? Thanks

Yeah, BFG Radia T/A's look good with white lettering. I'm sure you could just find some locally.

you could always buy a normal tire and paint the letters :) , but seriously you should be able to find some coopers, daytons, and yes BFG's.(i work @ a tire store)

haha....normal paint....uhhh, I already have alot more stuff on the to do list before I start painting my tires.
Anywho, not to be a pain guys, but Ive looked on every major tire manufacturer's web page including big name tire dealer stores and I have come up with jack zip, nada, kapoot on the white lettering sidewalls. If anyone has a link to these things please copy and paste it! Thanks again |
Well, if you want just the looks, go with the BFG Radial T/A's. Nice looking tire on the 7, I had them on my car. But if you want a performance tire, go with something else. The BFG IMO is nothing more than an all season tire. Traction isn't bad, but I could burn 205's with my very worn out 12A pretty easily with a 4000 rpm clutch dump. Nothing spectacular in that area. But due to the tread design, the tire looks wider than it really is, and on the stock 13" rims, my 205's looked like 235's on the car. You can't get 205's anymore tho in the radial T/A. They discontinued the size. You can get 195 I think.
Correction, Only 175/70R13 is available through tire rack now. Forget that idea. |
Try Cooper Cobras?

Ok, it looks like all the companies are phasing out any kind of performance tire for a 13" rim. In stock 185/70R13 size, there is only 13 tires of which only 1 is a performance tire. The rest are just shitty all season tires. The only credible tire on tirerack is the Sumitomo HTR 200, which comes in 175/70, 205/60 and 215/50 sizes. This sucks.

If you're looking for summer only tires, I just put a set of Toyo Proxes RA1's on my 13" rims. I got 205/60/13. Can't help you on the white lettering though. I wanted that too but couldn't find anything worth driving on.

There out there, i had a set of kumho's and wore them out in 6 months, 205/50/15's
so i decided to try the BFG's 205/60/15's with the white letters showing. Looks pretty okay. The tires are huge and take up the whole wheel well i also had to roll the fender lips so the tires don't get sliced up. They only rub a little bit when hard cornering. performance is good for the money and it's been 2+ years now and the wear is min-ute i'm happy with the T/A's |
