Default Opinion: White lettered tires

I saw a mustang today. It was mobile so I couldn't catch the exact year but it was a 99/04 model. It had white letter tires but I could not see what brand. they seemed to be low profile wide tires. Not the cheap superstar radials or whatnot that you can get for 60 bucks a tire. I tought they looked cool rolling down the road. What do you think? Do they even make a high dollar ZR or performance rated white letter tire anywhere?? I always had the cheap ones on my truck.

Are you talking about slicks? Such as M/Ts?

No. Street tires. Raised white letters. Example: are there any 245/45/17 white letter tires on the market?

I have actually wondered how white lettered tires would look on my car. Hoosier makes some white letter street tires. A buddy of mine had them on his firebird several years ago. They were similar to 45 series..not sure exactly what they were but they weren't tall. Dunno if that helps.

I think white lettered tires add to the look of any car. I would have put a set on mine if available. You can tell a big difference on a truck with and a truck without them. Blackwalls look cheap to me. As for the pen, I've seen a few cars that tried to paint the letters and they all looked pretty crappy.
