I can't find any raised white letter tires for my 2004 Supercharged SS. I need raised white letters for tire size 235/55/17. Anybody aware of any tires like that? Thanks.

 

you may have to go to a slightly different size, but just check out your local tire shop, they should be available, i think they're available in lots of sizes

 

Your question got me curious about replacement tires for our size rims. I didn't realize how limited we are in selection. I found a few tires, but none have raised white lettering.

However, I did see a 2003 Monte the other day with Goodyear Eagle #1 NASCAR tires with white letters. Goodyear's website only lists one size for that tire: 225/60R16

They looked really good on the MC. I'd check with a local tire shop to see if maybe goodyear is adding more sizes soon.

Or if you can't find anything... buy one of those white grease paint pens from your local autoparts store, and color in the letters yourself. Of course that means touching up spots occasionally.

 

yah, i haven't found any nascar tires for the 17's, i would really like to have those...they would look really nice but i dont think they make them for the 17's

 

My bet is that it is extremely difficult if not impossible to find raised white letter tires beyond 15 or 16 inches.

 

I believe they are fast becoming a thing of the past, kinda like red-line tires[:@]

I believe it may have more to do with low profile tires, and howdifficult it is to mold white rubber into the sidewalls.

 

Yes, but I've heard of people 'painting' over the black letters to make them look white.

Even on low profiles. They sell the special "crayon" at any auto parts store.

 

man, that would get annoying having to re color them every couple weeks, but it would looks good

 

Yes, you would have to 'color' them every time you wash the car, but it does take a lot of time and it does look good.
