Crosslace Rims - White Lettered Tires?
Hey guys, I love the look that white lettered tires gives a car and have always wished I could get a pair on my T/A, but the way I understood it is that nobody makes a set that will fit on crosslace wheels.Then one day I found this picture while on one of the third gen Facebook pages...

Could this just be a photoshop or does Goodrich actually make a white lettered tire that will fit on crosslace rims?

I'm pretty sure that's the tire BF recently released called the Comp T/A 2 which replaced the BF sport T/A. Comp T/A 2 is available with raised white lettering

according to BFGs website, the Comp 2 is not available with raised white letters.
http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tire-...techspec_table
I searched the site by tire size and they list nothing in a 245/50/16 with raised white letters.

Re: Crosslace Rims - White Lettered Tires?
Umm, because I like the look? Was not aware customization is no longer allowed on third gens. Back in the day we used to even have a set on our old family Aerostar. lol Imo they look good on any vehicle and should be offered in more sizes.

Re: Crosslace Rims - White Lettered Tires?
I wasn't trying to be a dick there, merely pointing out that I have never seen raised white letters in 245-50-16 size. You r only option (if you want them) is to find a 225-55-16 tire with the white letters, which is going to be hard these days too. 15" is no problem, but the tread patterns suck.

Re: Crosslace Rims - White Lettered Tires?
Yep I like the look too. And they seem to be available
(P245/50ZR16) in the
G-Force Comp 2 and Sport Comp model tires. Good to know for those of us that like the look.
Now I just need to save my pennies for those tires
and my Cragar SS rims!....

The only way you're going to get RWLs in that tire size is to buy one of those white tire pens and color the letters in yourself.

Re: Crosslace Rims - White Lettered Tires?
I just looked at the pop-up. It says "options, such as RWL..." It's an example of an option. It doesn't mean it exists. Look at the table I linked to. It's clear that RWL is NOT available on these tires in ANY size, and certainly not in a 245/50/16.

And as a PS....I've already done the white tire pen thing and it just does not work very well.
