    Ok I've looked all over and no luck or leads on where to find any solid or raised white letter tires. Not drag radials, street tires for gtx rims. 235/55r17. And can I run smaller side walls size? Like 50 or 45? Thanks

    Good luck finding them in your size, and no you should not run a smaller side wall. It will look dumb and handle worse and also mess up the speedo.

    I know of only a few tires that have white letters on them.

    BFG makes the Radial T/A, they a popular with older muscle cars.

    Firestone makes the INDY 500 tires with raised white letters.

    And I think Goodyear makes a Eagle GT tire with raised white letters.

    I used the Elmer's paint markers from Walmart lol. Super cheap, looks good, and lasted for at least 6months looking great and about a year with slight dulling. I mine white one time, silver another, and silver with a blue outline another.
    If your just wanting to buy the tires like that, I really like the look of Firestone Indy 500 ones. I saw a guy once do 255/50/16 on a stock rim. Sure the tire isn't meant to be put on that skinny of a rim but looks wise, it was killer.
