Just some useless info. Supposedly, white sidewall tires are cheaper to manufacture and last longer than all black. Russian military keeps sidewalls white for extended storage and keeps them that way for parades as well. However sometimes Russians forget to paint them black when in battle, which makes it easier for Ukraine to target

them.

I am thinking of making the defender into a white wall.

I recently had a set of Defender LTX M/S 235/75R15 installed on my RMW. Here is what they look like on Betsy, my Roadmaster wagon (parked at a friend's on a hill, so the front wheels are turned for safety). The Buick OEM wheels are also new to me (scored them on eBay last year).

Thanks to @The_Eagles’_Nest @david hill @Darby @tallhair @cantflip for the recommendation. They are indeed very smooth riding and super quiet.

Aren't the wheels supposed to be turned towards the curb for safety?

Usually that is what I would do. Here, though, the RHS front tire (as turned) is a mere 1-2 inches away from the top of a tall curb -- which should act as a block stop.

Still rolling on the 20+ yr Kellys. Anyone else know of any other raised whites that aren't on here?

I didn't see Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T tires included. They are also made by Cooper. Cooper is actually owned by Goodyear now. I have the Sportsman tires on one of my Challengers. Although not a lot of driving yet, they seem to perform well so far. I've only driven them in dry conditions. I really like the way they look, the lettering, the overall sidewall appearance and the tread too. I'll be buying a set to replace the 28 year old Eagle STs on my Duster soon. Here's a few pictures:

I am also considering Milestar StreetSteel for my other Duster. They have a relatively simple non-slanted block lettering that would match what I want for it well. I have not used them before though, and need to research them more before I decide. Milestar is owned by Tireco, but the tires are made for them by Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation in Taiwan.
