Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

I have not done a poll before so here goes.

The pic below is of my truck as it stands today.. I plan to have the same chrome wheels on the front soon with new tires.

The tires will be Cooper Cobra GT's. They have a nice look either way.

Which would you choose? White letters out, or black wall out?

This is what the tires will look like. I will put these on the rear too in the near future.

White letters look right on a restored '68-'81 car. Blackwalls on everything else.

Three word answer....

Oh Hell No

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Black no letters IMO

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

I loathe white letters.

When I bought my 66 the first stop I made was the tire store and dropped $100 to get them turned around.

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

White letters no way

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

White letters are baad...mmm k?

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Option C: whitewalls. No whitewalls? Blackwall.

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

OK OK!!! I Get it!! :)

Thanks for your opinions and votes on the poll!!

I hope to post some new tire pics this weekend. Stay tuned....

Blonde? Brunette? Redhead? It all depends on what YOU like. I say go with the solid raised white letters and flip around later if they don't appeal to you. I personally think they look great with certain alloy mag wheels and out of place with factory rims. You'll get a lot of different opinions on here, but you really just need to follow your heart.

Here's a sample from a classic car I own. Nobody will ever convince me that I would like them better without the white letters. I followed my own advice!;)

Blackwalls. It makes you focus on the wheels and the truck instead of reading the white letters. Why give free advertising to a tire manufacturer? You bought their tires, isn't that enough? It's like a car dealership putting their sticker on a new vehicle, it looks tacky and it's just cheap advertising for them. Also white letters look funny when they are going around and around going down the road.

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

My vote is blackwall out.

I'm a black wall guy. I think it makes the truck look cleaner, not to mention I HATE scrubbing white walls and letters. I keep my white letters turned in. Now if I could stop my dog from pi$$ing the tires as soon as I get my truck washed & dried I would be a happy camper

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Personally, the white letters scream 70's to me. And would be perfect if you had a 70's muscle car. But on an early 60's truck, I'd go with either black walls or wide white walls.

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

I think white letters look great on 60's era muscle cars, but I"m not a fan of the look on our trucks. I tried it once on mine and quickly tired of the appearance.

I have to get this truck aligned in the morning, then I will put the new wheels and tires on..

Thanks again for your input!! You guys rock?? :metal:

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Blackwalls! IMO, white letter tires are kinda like Corvette Rally's... leave them on the Vette's, or in the case of white letters- leave them in the 70's!

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Those Black walls look NICE!!

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Good choice!

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Im all for tires with meat.. white letter or not, as soon as the rear get a little low/bald, ill rotate and flip to black.

Great choice! Would also look great with thin whites..

Good thing you didnt get the white letters or you would have to get the matching mullet hairdo :lol:

Re: Poll: Raised white letters or not?
 

Yep good choice, unless it was 10 years ago.
