Default Raised White Letters (RWL) or Outlined White Letters (OWL)

I have always preferred tires with raised white letters. To me they just make a car or motorcycle look better.

Does anyone know of any tire manufacturers that make RWL or OWL street tires that will fit the stock 16" 2008 rim?

Yeah, I know I could just get one of those white tire markers but they look like crap after a while and it takes too long to do all four tires.

Reminds me of my old Vega days and the Dunlop GT Qualifiers. I LOVED those tires, but RWL don't do it for me today. I wouldn't buy a tire specifically to get them, but if the tires I like had them..... I would buy them. I would black-out the RWL today though

I guess times have changed.

Yeah...I guess so. Guess I will have to wait 10 - 15 years for them to come back in style.

You would need to go to a different size 225/60/16 then RWL are available

Yes, it is about .3" less in diamter, not a huge deal. Other V6 owners have ran that size. And one guy that exact tire.
