West Coast GTA Man

Hey Guys, I need tires soon, and was thinking about getting White letter tires on my GTA. What is everyones opinion on this? I have the stock rims on my GTA, I was wondering how they would look. Please post pics of your cars with White letter tires. I was thinking that the outlined white letter tires would look better on a third gen then the solid white letters.
Thanks for your opinions guys!
Later
Mike

Thanks Guys! They look good on your car 86Fyrbird! So does that awesome paint job. I should have noticed your tires when I looked at your other posts. I will probably get white letter. Do BF Goodrich Comp T/A ZR's come in white letter?

I don't even know if they even make RWL tires in the 245/50 16 size. I think they did at one point because I remember seeing an IROC with RWL and it looked frieking horrible. Straight out of the trailer park, and this is coming from somebody that LOVES RWL tires on the right car.

The white-lettered tires are sorta out of style right now... I think they look more appropriate on a 60's-era car. If I had to choose a white-lettered tire, I'd go for the outlined tires like you said (they'd be less noticible).

Just to let you know, they do not make a tire in 245/50/16 with white letters, the red firebird has the 15in wheels, Your GTA should have 16x8's. I worked at a tire store for about 2 years and i've dealt with this many times.

Well I like the Raised White letter look on my car. In fact I get most things that others don't so my Camaro can be different. Check out this pic of my 3rd gen with a 4thy gen with RWL. Looks good. Just be selective in what you buy. Just my .02 cents.

Hey guys, thanks for your opinions. Nice car Nightrider! I like the white letter Tires, but I have stock GTA wheels,(16x8) and they don't make white letter tires in those sizes like you guys said, so I think I will go with the BF Goodrich Comp T/A ZR's.
Take care
Mike
