From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

The whitewalls on my Cabriolet were basically shot. So I swapped wheels and tires with my all black 30 coupe (currently in drydock) until I spring for a new set of tires. I like the blackwall look on the Cabriolet. Whitewalls look cool too-not trying to reignite the age old debate about tires. Just sharing a photo for your viewing pleasure.....

Wow that looks so much better..
I love black wheels, wouldn't have it any other way on my cars...

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

My all black coupe is feeling kind of silly with red wheels and whitewalls, however.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

I agree Greg. It looks better with black walls.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

White walls on light color cars don't bother me like WW on dark cars. The first thing my eyes are drawn to are the wheels not the whole car when it has WW's.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

It is getting to be time for new tires on my '29 Cabriolet. Yes, I am in a quandary concerning WW vs Black tires. I think the new look on Greg's Cabby is terrific. I did the same with my maroon S/W 4dr. several years ago and was very pleased with the more period look. However, I do agree with Mike V. that light cars look OK with WW. I am leaning toward WW and keeping my wheels black.

They both look great, I don't think that car can look bad.

Just did that on my '29. After much debate with myself replaced the WWs with new WWs. I like the look with black wheels!

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Are those goodyear? I am thinking about swapping mine out for a set of Goodyear - do you like them?

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

I like the Goodyears, have them on two cars, and yes both whitewalls!

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

All a matter of choice, from a historic point of view blackwalls look the part, i.e. your car will look older and less "pimped" out... Model A's back in their day were basic transportion for the masses. Your car your choice but as a blackwall fan your car looks better with blackwalls... Today there are some A's that are painted in a manner that whitewalls are a better match.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

My replacements are Goodyear Balloons. The ones I removed were Firestones. I like the ride on the new tires, but I'm not sure I can attribute that solely to the tires. Mine was a major effort replacing brakes hubs, drums, bearings and much associated hardware.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Spot on Mike concerning where your eye is drawn. That is the exact reason I chose whitewalls. My car is a nicer driver and I look at W/W as a safety item. With all these "texters" and other types of "no drivers" I want to be noticed and not hit.:eek:

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

I have Goodyears on five of my Model A Ford cars and two Chevs. Let me assure you. They are worth the investment in both looks and wear !

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

How about a set of each to suit your mood?!! I like the black.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

white walls and cream wheels make a Model A look like a whorehouse on wheels .. I use only black tires.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

I'm a whitewall lover but I do like the black and black on your car it looks classy

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

My vote is for the black walls.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

When I look at the two images of your Cabriolet, the image with GY blackwalls look classier. Well done!

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Well I can't exactly say that I disagree with you, but I honestly never thought to word it that way. :D You win three internetz!

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Gee I never thought of myself as a pimp, more fun than being a minister I guess

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Well most of us must admit that we do not possess the indepth knowledge of a whorehouse that you do, I would respectfully ask why you have shown such an Obvious dislike and contempt for the aforementioned trade and occupation ?

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

I prefer the Goodyears, as I seem to get better service (miles) out of them than Firestones.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Can't say Sarah is a whorehouse on wheels but I know for sure a high paid Gigolo is behind the steering wheel!!!! :D

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

"I didn't want to reignite the debate" - but.....................

Here they come - ;)

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

i couldnt decide so WW on drivers side and BW on passenger.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

HILARIOUS!

I applaud the approach and the humor! :o

Be well -

SHEC :cool:

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Obviously you care what your side of the car looks like and don't care about your wife's side. Shame on you ( lol ) ! Wayne

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

THIS is the only thing that should be on the wall of your tire! :D

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Firestones ain't what they used to be..........

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Apparently some of Ford's ad writers felt whitewalls complimented the Cabriolet. I would like them on mine if I had black wheels but they are a little much on my Tacoma creme wheels.

Re: From Whitewalls to Blackwalls
 

Black walls for me....just because. If I had a Town Car, or maybe a two door phaeton then all bets are off!

They wore out on my car in a few thousand miles.
