New Tires!

Just got a set of General Grabber ATX's for my 2008 Tacoma, great tires, they look even better than my AT2's and handle better.
Sorry I'm just old school with the white lettering, I think it looks really sharp! So bring on the snow, I'm ready!!

 

Looks great. Yup raised white letters work. I wish there were more choices still around. The double lined letter was always my choice back when.

 

Gonna have to buy some Westley's Bleach White to keep them clean lol

 

Looks great white letters out.

 

It's a little harder keeping them clean, but not too bad. I actually use Eco Lab heavy duty citrus degreaser, it smells better.

There aren't too many that I found.

 

I love the raised white letters too, those are sharp! In a couple of brands that have the option of RWLs and Black sidewalls in the same size and rating, the white letter versions weigh like 2 more pounds per tire for some reason. Both Toyo AT3, and Cooper Discoverer are the specific ones I’ve noticed. I wonder if that’s always the case or just coincidence in a small sample size. Maybe someone who knows about tire manufacturing could chime in

 

White lettering screams "1987 NASCAR" really loud, esp. when it's split 50/50 across the tire diameter.

I go so far as to use a black industrial marker to black out the white lettering on my Yokohamas because white lettering is all they had in stock at the time I was tire shopping.

 

Why didn’t you just face them the other way?

 

You know... that's a very good question...

It took quite a long while to hand-color-in every single letter on 4 tires...

I guess when I was mounting them, I figured "the white side is supposed to face out," even though in fact they are not directional tires & don't care which side is out.

 

They were probably screaming "1987 Nascar" so load he couldn't reason. Using a marker made more
