The redline radial tires I got from Diamondback for mine are a Milesteel carcass.
The lettering is blacked out , otherwise look like so on the other side

I have no complaints with ride or handling

Is there a specific brand that you use ?


How about this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Trichloroethylene-Purity-Solvent-500ml-Model/dp/B013P3OL30/ref=sr_1_6?

I've tried everything on my BFG's

Brake cleaner, lacquer thinner, bleach white, goof off - tried all with a rag, paper towel and red scotchbrite.

The best I've been able to achieve was a light tan color.

Turned sh*tty brown again in just a few days, not being driven-just sitting in the garage.

When mine was built back in 2010 I went with the Mastercraft Avengers...

I needed/wanted a very tall wide 17" tire on the rear and a normal sized 15" tire on the front...

Back then there were no other options to have both raised white letters and a matching tread pattern...

When these wear out or have to be changed I don't know what I'll do... shruggy


...FAFO...

Bought cooper cobras to replace the BFG radial t/a’s on my car recently.

Has anyone tried the Vitour Galaxy Radial G/T?
They have 7 different 15 inch sizes and have a V rating on the 60 series and an H on the 70 series.

When you scroll down on that link, there is the 'customers also viewed' area. There are 9 different options for 15" wheels, including the Firestone Firehawks... Pretty good selection, but some I've never heard of.

I have them on my Charger in 235/60R15 (front) and 295/50R15 (rear) and they are waaay better than the BFGs and Coopers I had previously on the Charger. I see in your link that the 275 and 295 tires aren't listed - they are available though, maybe they can order them.

@DGS Thanks for the feedback.

I was checking around local shows this past year and had yet to run across anyone using them. .

I'm not a fan of BFG radials (S rating), browning of letters, and real bad when wet out. Been there and done that.
The Cooper Cobras have S and T ratings and Mastercraft Avenger have M and S ratings.
So far the Vitour's are the only ones I found with a V rating (60 series)

Mickey Thompson SRs and Maxxis Marauders are both H speed rated. The Maxxis has a pretty high UTQG rating. The SRs have no UTQG rating but MT is claiming they are only good for 20-25k miles which would mean they are somewhat soft. Neither of these come with white letters.

I didn't see a UTQG rating on the Galaxys. With the closed should tread block, I wonder how they do in water? Also, is it my imagination, or is their tread lettering not equally spaced on all tires?

It sure looks like the front tire is off on the spacing. I didn't notice at first, because I was drooling over the car. That's a beautiful Charger! drool

To me there is only one choice for white letter tires.

I think they look great in the pictures above but up close I think the lettering is too big. I found this image online.

I would like a RWL radial in like a 305 60 15 but that doesn't exist in RWL. The 295 50 is not tall enough in my opinion. I like the letter paint but my hands would not be steady enough for perfect results.


Keep old mopars alive.

You are correct, the spacing of the lettering is different on the fron an rear - rear is opposite, front is off (in the "empty" section it says Vitour but you can't really tell cause the lettering is black). No clue why they did it that way (the offset lettering is on the small width tires - I think 255 and up have it on the opposite side).
Performance in rain is good (better than the BFGs or Coopers) but you still have to be careful with a high hp RWD car in the rain - nature of the game I'd say.

On this thread I found very interesting two deals…

1-it seems Indy500 tires are available again?
2-radial RWL tires on 15” with a modern thread pattern and V speed rated are available now!!!
