I like C3's with letters out. C1's & 2's letters in.
White letters seemd to have been made for C3's.

Out if you're using 15x8 rims. Nothing says "old school" like raised white letters! :cool:

Mine are in but I bought them that way (used) on wheels. When I get new tires the white will be out again.

When I first got the vette I bought some performance tires...BFGOODRICH T/A RADIAL R1's.
Real sticky tire. There was no lettering! If you check around nearly all the racing tires don't have raised white lettering. As a consequence I liked the look of the solid black rubber because it helped me feel like I had some traction, and also the raised white letters make me think the tires have a hard rubber compound like the tires that were originally on the car.
Thus, when I could no longer get the R1's I bought some of the standard Radial T/A's, and had them mounted with the lettering in...not as good traction, but still looks like I do!

Out is in, in was in for awhile back about 15 yrs. ago and out was out, but out is back in again so go with out :rolleyes: Did everybody follow that ? i think i might have even lost myself :lolg: Of course if the tires say some thing like Rickshaw 2000's on the side it would be best to get new tires .
