I need an opinion on my tires. I just bought "orangeCrush"s' mc2 wheels and am putting 35x12.5x17 "Cooper discoverer stt's" on-as soon as the wheels get delivered to me. The tire store asked me "white letters showing or not showing". I know white lettering is kinda 80's but boy I think it would look pretty good since my H2 is white. Any opinions?

Ok,Ok I agree with you guys. It was the tire store guys that got me thinking about white letters out. I had a flashback moment from the good ol days. I guess I should of noticed the tire guy was driving a 1982 toyata pickup with a 12" lift and giant raised letter balloon tires on it. Maybe the mullet should of made me think twice about it also, thanks for bringing me back to the 2000's.

Weld Dune 8 - 17X8, 4.50 offset, with black simulated beadloc ring (ring comes in other colors) $2000 installed from 4 wheel parts.

BFG M/T 35/12.50/17 $1200 mounted & balanced with new valve stems - 4 wheel parts.

I would have saved a few hundred dollars if I had bought both at the same time but I had my OE A/T's put onto the new rims until they were ready to be changed.

I tried the letters out...If you do go this route keep the letters clean or it will look like crapola..

I perfer the blackwall too - but it looks good on a white truck.

Easy cleaning of white letter - pick yourself up some "grease off". Best stuff in the world - quick scrub and your done!
