Where did all the whitewall tires go? (not that I'm complaining...) 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Sat Oct 11 13:41 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Is there any car still sold new today, 2004 models, with white sidewall tires? I've been looking around and don't see any. Only the occasional used Cadillac--I guess once you start with them, and you've got a whitewall spare, you want to continue.

Can we say that whitewall tire is Over?

I think there were a few years maybe around 1970 when even Volvos came with white sidewalls.

Even wheel covers are getting rare. Only the bottom-price econoboxes don't have alloy wheels, or at least chromed-up steel wheels.

I guess we've seen the last of fake-wire-wheel wheel covers.
