I am curious what my 1980 would look like with the white letters turned in so I would have a solid black wall tire ... Who has done this . can you post photos please

I'm running blackwalls right now because my tires don't match. If I decide to stay with 15" wheels this summer I will be going raised white letters out again. If I go with 18s it will be blackwall obviously.

I've always had the blackwall "out"... I also remove any dealership badges... Having said that though I do have two stickers on the '76 "EAA" and "loud pipes save lives" ...

They're actually the same brand, but they were made different years so two are Raised White Letters like a BF Goodrich tire, and the other two are Raised Outlined White Letters like the Eagle Gts used to be. The ROWL tires are the newer ones and in good shape, so If I can match them I'll run them out since i like the look better then RWL.

I don't have any pics of the letters out, first thing I did when I bought the car was turn the tires around

I really need to get some current shots. Except for having 255s in the rear instead of the 275s in this shot, this is pretty much how it looks. I still have the blackwalls out cuz that's how I roll!
