Re: Make your own WWWs
can't you buy wide whites nowadays? Seems like it would be safer.

Re: Make your own WWWs
pretty cool, but doing this does it do any harm? Does it make it anymore unsafe?

Re: Make your own WWWs
lol .. white letter tires are made the same way ... as long as you don't go thru the white portion, you'll be fine.

Re: Make your own WWWs
Not a fan of coker tires. I prefer diamondback tires. Much better quality. JMHO.
