Default White Letter Tires?

Does anyone have raised white letter tires on their car? Have pics? Dont see Mustangs with them anymore.

I suspect that you don't see many STangs with RWL tires is becasue there's no sidewall on our low profile tires to allow them. That's another reason why I'd love to put 15's or 16's with something like a series 70 tires on the Stang. RWL's would be SOOO cool.

If memory serves, back when RWL tires were popular, passenger car tire sizes were 13" - 15".

They are out there. But maybe not in the size you'd want.

Look for them here under "Highway All-Season". Not exactly a tag with glowing suggestions of high performance, which may partly explain the scarcity of this style.

I have ORWL tires on my SUV (it even has a fake hood scoop,too!) and they're 265/65/17's. Maybe I'll jack the Stang and put those on it... LOL!

Yeah I've seen the white marker look before as well... on car and motorcycle tires. I think it looks really good personally.

they would only look cool if they match your Transformers trunk emblem.
