Show me your raised whites!....please

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? :poke:
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.
