who still makes raised white letter tires for 15"

I'm thinking of putting Raised White Letter tires on the new Konig Rewinds I bought for the SA . Anyone know whats available other than these two I found:

Dunlop GT Qualifier 195/60 -15
BF Goodrich T/A 195/60 -15

I'd really prefer a 205 / 50

Just buy whatever tire you want. Go to the Local Harley Davidson dealership and buy tire paint. It lasts A LONG TIME, and its relatively cheap.

Okay, that paint works great . It took three coats but the tip is easy to outline the raised black letters .

These BFG Traction TA's are going on my 15 Konig Rewnds for the SA . I went with the outiline look for now. I may fill in completely later . Its going to be nice to have the white letters again which were on the car stock when it was built in '79

I'm pretty sure that my old set of Cooper tires had some, for future reference.)

They need to bring back the white sidewalls. Guess that's more bias ply stuff.

Oh just had a flashback to my friends Matador with bias ply tires on some 5 hole rims.. he thought he was bad
