STS Scott Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Is there any tire manufacturer that offers a 17 inch white wall? Michelin and Vogue are the only ones that come close with a 16 inch offering. I do not want the traditional vogue with the gold and yellow, for I see that is available in a 17". I was thinking just a pin-stripe white wall, nothing dramatic. I hope not, but after lots of internet research, I may be out of luck! Thanks for the input!

msilva954 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Besides those two, there isnt much that I can think of........I was looking for the longest time and it seems as though no one develops these anymore. Even in stock caddy sizes its getting harder to find a white wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinW Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Check out the tires on a late model Town Car. 17" wheels are standard, and I believe a whitestripe is available. ___________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STS Scott Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Thanks Kevin! Your right, I do believe, now that you have brought it to my attention, that I've seen those wheels/tires! I'll stop by the Lincoln/Merc. Dealer ASAP Thanks Again " ...'took my Cobra down t' the track, hitched to the back o' my Cadillac..." - Jan & Dean, 'hey little cobra' Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STS Scott Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 What was I thinking? I have the internet right in front of me! I confirmed that Lincoln does have a white wall available for their 17 inch rim, on their site (in fact they only offer 17n's, nothing less on the Town Car). I then went to Tirerack.com, to compare the tire sizes. The lincoln tire is a 225 60/17, where as the 17 inch Caddy tire is a 225 50/17. So, the same width, just the Caddy's stock tire is a little lower profile (the middle number is a percentage of the tire width). I am definetly going to wrap my new wheels in those Lincoln tires! Cardio-Doc hooked me up with the 17 inch wheels from the 2004 CTS. Oh boy am I stoked now!
