White Block lettering on 17/ 18's why not

[Green X]

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.

yeah I agree , bring back the seventies ,early eighties...I thought it was a easy way for them to have some advertising. T/A ' s were the yardstick , ordinary in the wet though!!

AHHH No ...

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.

I saw plenty of Cortinas in the early eighties with Bathurst Globes and T/A 's .

They looked good AT THE TIME...

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.

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!!!

A truer statement could not be made!!

I had a set of Yoky 352's put on my car many years ago. The retard put the lettering on the outside (I forgot to give instructions as I thought he would know better). He then wanted full price to change the tyres so the lettering was on the inside. I took it to a mate with a tyre changer the very same day. So bloody gay!!

[Geez Louise]

I prefer them with the writing except those stupid crayons don't work properly!

[bingoTE50]

different strokes for different folks...

[Kryton]

theres a difference between the MUSCLE car image and PERFORMANCE car image.

its like asking why they dont put fins on cars anymore.

They do! They just go east-west instead of north-south or you could say they are whale tail instead of shark fin. :

every set could come with free fluffy dice.........

On a more serious note - I wouldn't think that 16s would fit on a BF XR6T because of the bigger brakes and I thought (correct me if I'm wrong here) that Ford was supplying 17" space saver rims on the XR6T and XR8 for this very reason.

My T had a 16 inch spare. With the stock brakes they'll fit.

I thought of every smart reply from Duran Duran to Mullets... but if it floats your boat then go on, do it.........

yeh they do but from what ihave heard only on the xr8s, i wanted to get them for my car but they're had 2 find, plus i dont want to spend the money n get them at ford lol

ps i no 15s fit on a stock xr6 lol

[fmc351]

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.

[Auslandau]

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

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:

[Green X]

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.

[Nikked]

I sure i have seen some low profile tyres with coloured lettering, may have been Pirelli's...and it looked good.

[LUXO_8]

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

[[Tonko]]

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.
