Let me see those pics and please add the size...for all the people that have been asking me what kind of size wheels i have they are 15x8 the tires that are on now are P215/65R15. Thanks

there is a place in Sacramento that cuts white walls.

Hooten Tire Co.
3917 Marysville Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95838-3711
(916) 927-0300

But they did the rears on my panel. $15 a tire. They look great.

can be made from any white letter tire.

31x10.5 R15 on the rear
205x75 R15 front






here it is with 205x75 15's all around, too small for my taste so I went with the large rears above.

Whats a good tire to start with to make your own WWW's? Anything with white letters have white under them?

Thanks!

Yup.

A little known fact is that back in the brass era, the 1900's cars ALL had white tires. Natural rubber was dyed black later but originally they were all white.

"Early automobile tires were made entirely of natural white rubber, however, the white rubber did not offer sufficient traction and endurance so carbon black was added to the rubber used for the treads. Using carbon black only in the tread produced tires with inner and outer sidewalls of white rubber. Later, entirely black tires became available, the still extant white sidewalls being covered with a somewhat thin, black colored layer of rubber. Should a black sidewall tire have been severely scuffed against a curb the underlying white rubber would be revealed, it is in a similar manner that raised white letter (RWL) tires are made."

Cool man...be looking for your truck at Lone Star Round Up this weekend.

[likaroc13]

i'm gonna be doing some research, but anybody know how wide you can get a tire with the thin whitewall? i'm wanting to do a big/little combo yet keep a stock look at the same time...but i'm not sure if i can get a wide enough rear tire with a thin whitewall

after emailing back and forth with TireRack, the widest option they have available with the thin whitewall is a 235/75/15 in the Kumho Solus KR21

so, a big/little combo would be possible with those if doing the 215/75 & 235/75

[HOGDADDY]

Wow amazing results on the video!

I was looking at those too. Will they work on a big heavy truck?
