Ok everyone I need your opinion. Should I stick with the raised white letters or go with blackwalls. I am kind of partial to the white letters but I cant find any tires with a speed rating higher than T. Do you think my car will look ok without the white letters or not. I need some opinions.

heres a pic of my car now

 

i don't usually say this, but i'd keep them, and just get rid of that bra..

 

I don't mind white lettering.

...with 15's I think it actually looks better with letters... breaks the massive amounts of tire up.

Car looks great just as it is.

 

My black wall tires handle awesome...but I really miss my white letter tires....I say keep em.

 

15's with white letters is a MUST. 16 or above with white letters? hah, NO.

 

IMO white lettering is for cars before 1980. It looks great on 15" rims on a first or second gen, but thirdgens are a little too modern for it.

 

yea 15 inch wheels look nice w/ letters , my old 87 bird had white letters with 15 inch wheels,looked really good but i would never get white letters on my 16 inch iroc wheels, so i agree if u got 15's keep'em

 

White letter tires are dated and belong in the past.

 

I hate white letters But im biased cause i have to clean the blue protective stuff off them everyday. I specially hate Vogue The ones you always see on caddys with white stripe and little yellow stripe. But i work in ghetto area so i see alot of them. I really hate thick white walls that are old it takes lots of srubbing when there older tires.

 

Like others, I think that anything on 15" or smaller needs the raised white letters, otherwise it's just way too much rubber showing. People can say what they want about RWL looking dated... but they seem to forget that these cars are from that time period!!!!!!! Unless you're going to update to bigger wheels, you're going to be stuck in that "dated" look anyway, so you may as well do it right!

I wouldn't worry about the speed rating on the tires either. It's not like you spend extended periods of time at 150 mph.

The only acceptable white lettering on a tire is "M/T" and "HOOSIER"

 

heh i thought my topic was still going on, id say go for it, peep mines

 

I love the way white letters look on the 15" wheels. I'm getting them when I get new rubber (BFG Radial TAs) for my Z28.

 

i think leave the raised white letters and 15" tires on it. it just looks awsome. nice car, keep up the good work but loose the bra!

 

thats a really nice bird, firebirdNYC. really clean.

 

 

leave them , but lose the bra, the white letters match ur car nice.

 

 

Mine aren't so white anymore but I like the lettering on my 15's

 

I've had both, an 85 Z28 with raised white letter tires, and now an 87 Iroc-z with black walls.

They both look good, the choice is yours!

 

Camaro's got ***** not *******, can't stress that enough...

 

no m and h

 

Definetly, if you've got 15's, go with the white letters. Just make sure you KEEP them white. Neglected white letters look like TRASH. Thats not what you want.

 

Tkat is a good looking camaro. I like that color combo. Is it stock.

Here is a pic without the bra

 

Raised white lettered BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on my KITT conversion! Gotta love those raised white letters!

This is my project! What do you think guys! I only wish he had a larger engine.

Hey oneloudchevy, thanks for the compliment. You ask if it is stock....if you're talking about the paint, no it is not. If your talking about the motor and drivetrain, then yes.

 

Looking good Knight75, I am a huge fan of the Knight Rider front ends I think they look really sharp.

 

White letters all the way.

 

You just bumped a 13 year old thread with a picture of your truck?

 

im with fullsize, since were reviving this thread, all the cool guys go white letter

 

Its best to stay Third Gen Camaro and Firebird related.
