Hi George,

WW & BW Tests:

Just show photos of vehicles with WW & BW tired vehicles to:

a. Both males and females to see if there is any difference in preferences.

b. Then to both young and seniors to see if there is any difference in preferences.

c. Then to both Model A owners and Non-Model A owners to see if there is any difference in preferences.

d. Then to both rural people and urban people to see if there is any difference in preferences.

Conclusion .................... ??????

This one lost the wheels and tires to the truck. But in all fairness the picture with the white walls is a better picture of the roadster. But in my opinion it looked better with the white walls.

Hi George,

If you are happy with what you installed, I am sure most of us on this Forum feel more far compassionate about your attaining happiness and your peace in life rather than that of arguing about what color these four (4) pieces of rubber should be or should not be.

But it is interesting to see the differences in appearance. Just as I posted some time back, I was really surprised at the "look" changing from white walls to blackwalls on my own car. Not saying one is better than the other just interesting to see the different characters that each type of tire imparts.

White walls are overpowering and distracts from the car.like driving at night you don't see the car much only headlights.

Yes it would be interesting to see the car with each tire under the same lighting .

Much better, dump the wing windows and add some Merc hub caps and your ready for cruise night.
