I have a Brand O car ('85 442) that originally came with 15" raised white outline letter tires and wondered if anyone still makes them, or are the solid white letter tires the only RWL available now.

Firestone makes the "Wide Oval" in addition to the Firehawk.

Goodyear offer a RWL tire too!

Pretty sure the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is discontinued now too.

Summit has a bunch but they all look like truck/SUV tires to me. Try giving Coker or one of them types a try didn't a lot of the mid 70's to mid 80's trans/am, camero, hurst olds have them from the factory????
