If I recall correctly, I remember many Corvettes had red pinstripes on the tires. That may be a good look. I recently put them on my father's '93 Cadillac and they look great (Seriously)!

Maybe someone can photoshop some red pinstripes on the tires to see how they look?

Red stripes were cool (and optional) back in the day. They even made blue stripe tires.

But I can't imagine what any sidewall decoration would look like on a low profile tire.

My cousin had red stripes on his mid '60's GTO. Looked cool then, and now... On a mid '60's GTO. Not on a 21st century Corvette.

Other than a racing situation, do you ever see a newer Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche etc with white letter tires??? There is your answer for the Corvette.

I see Goodyear.....is this a real production tire? I have never seen any before. I don't really care for them on the Vette.

I love RWL tires, but IMO here's the last car I owned that looked good with them.
