Thu Oct 09, 2014 11:15 am

I am in the market for some whitewall tires and came across this site:

They claim to vulcanize the whitewall rubber to the tire and it looks to be a few hundred less than real whitewalls.

Does anyone have experience using these tires? I have seen a tire with what appears to be this process where the whitewall was peeling away from the tire.

Any experience or thoughts welcome!

so, there reviews from local testers are really good. I would just ask what tire they are starting with for the 165/80/15's. From the sound of it, probably something low end. They do say that you can ship your tires to them as well (or if you are in Sacramento, just drive them on over)

still, way cheaper. If you do it, please let us know what you think. The lowrider guys seem happy with them

Tires choices for 165/80/15 are limited to start with. They are using a nankang tire. I placed my order early this week. Will let you know

Update: Got the tires and had them mounted but have not put them on the car. First impression it is not what I was expecting. I assumed the white rubber strip was "melted/fused" into the black. It's not. It's just a strip of white rubber which looks to be "glued" to the Blackwall. Kind of disappointed. I don't see how these will hold up without peeling off. Wishing I had spent the extra 200 to get the real deal upon first glance.
