White lettered tires?

Anyone running OWL tires? Do they even make them? I thought they might look sharp.

Here is a company that could help you out, they make the letters for your tire that look great. Its an easy alternative to stenciling and such if you have BSW tires

thought about putting these on my drag radials. but it looks like you need a vector file of the logo you want, not sure where you would get one of those.

I have a set of the Tred Wear letters for the Goodyear Eagle F1s that come stock on the ZL1. I bought them but never installed. What tires are you running?

I have the stock PZeros. Did you have to submit a rub of the tire to get those or did they have it on file?

Just tell them the size and model of the tires and they will send you the correct ones. They have very good customer service as well.

Perhaps. Are you running the stocks size for the ZL1? If so, they will fit. Shoot me an offer and I'll let you know if I'm selling them.

They have several tires on file. I have the Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2 and I had to take a picture of my tire straight on with a tape measure stretched across the tire. They can then determine the size of the letters that way too.

I feel like white letter tires are tacky these days, but hey, if it's what you like, then go for it!

Sounds like plenty of folks have awesome experiences with the company mentioned above.

Yes I am. I have no clue what something like this goes for. Let me know what you think is fair.
