Looked everywhere and not a thing
Why don't any manufactures make Performance tyres in 17/18-inch with the white Block lettering on the side walls Re: BFGoodrich Radial T/A Style, I love the look of it, Considering fitting 16's on the BF Turbo just so i can do it, i think it would look chit Hot LOL. BF turbo rolling on 16's fitted with BFG T/A's Hell yeah.  any who Dunlop i want SP3000 with White block lettering so get off a **** and make me a set.

White paint, brush. problem solved.
My Aunt used to be in advertising and she had to do an ad for a tire (Have no clue what brand it was now), and to make the brand stick out she used white out on the brand name.../thrilling yarn.

The writing on the tyres was an old school thing - you'd see it on some 70's muscle cars, but it would be out of place on a newer car, especially a low profile tyre.

Funny, if the tyre had white lettering I always fitted them with the writing to the inside.
Yokie 352's were better than BFG Terribly/Awfuls, they wear quick though. |

Love the way white lettering becomes white walls when they rub against the guard! I have 352's and the white goes inside!

so is having red and white walls on your tyres.. take a look at alot of cars going around and they have 19's with low profiles and red/white walls on them, i have seen many on commodores and to be honest they look good. having a set of say bridgestone potenzas of some sort with the b/stone and potenza bit in white or a set of goodyear eagles (f1's only in 17"+ nct5 16") or dunlops with the their letters raised in yellow would look awesome on a late model car. each to their own i guess.. but bring back the raised coloured lettering!!! |

The white writing looks real cheesy if you ask me, very bogan-isk, don't know why, but it remids me of bogans in Torana's.
On the white/Red wall thing.. I have lots of mates who have done them on there late model vehicles, most are running 20+ rims, it looks good with certain colors, some look just as bad as the white lettering though  :

Well stuff ya's then, Personally i like it, always have the white lettering facing out on my 4WD tyres, and if i could get it on 18's they would be fitted to the Falcon too, Coloured Block lettering proudly Facing OUT.
I hate the Look of 19-20-inch rims, the big shiny chrome ones look terrible IMO, so everybody's different, thou i look to be the minority on this one.

Pirelli have small red text or yellow banner with black text on some of their range, but its just a corporate colour, like the ford blue oval.
not a fan of the white lettering on late cars, except of its chunky tyres on a Fourby |

Horrendously ugly on B-series...
Kinda reminds me of 12 slotters, with T/A's on E-series that i've seen many of... Sure, you could get them, as long as you dont want to stop or turn a corner in the wet. Whatever rocks your box i guess.
