Next question.

Im looking to buy new tyres this week. the ones i currently have are Hankook with big white print on the side, look awesome, but they are almost bald.

I wanna get some tyres with the white writing on the sides, anyone know of any? as i cant find the ones i already have.

i know i should go for quality more than anything, but im going for quality and looks

Tyres are one of the most important parts on a car, you should always put quality above all else, same with brakes.

Good news is that you can still have good looking tyres that perform well. The BFGoodrich All Terrains are probably one of the better looking AT tyres.

When you order the tyres, you will need to specify that you want white writing on the sidewalls, as they don't all come with it and sometimes tyre fitters put them on the inside/reverse so that the white writing can't be seen.

Though personally, I'd rather have General Grabber AT (Not the older AT2's) but these look less aggressive and typically don't have white writing on the sidewalls.

FYI the 2nd Pic is the AT2 not AT

Also not all sizes of one tyre have white writing on

To find the best price just do a bit of shopping onlne on the major tyre retailers sites, then always worth giving one a call...

Get a few prices online to get a rough idea and then take it to Hi Q. They will search for the best prices for you and they charge reasonable price to fit and balance them.

Many people dislike Hi Q but I always find them to be very good. They're cheaper than many and where I live, they can usually do the job on the same day without having to book it in.

I had my Pirrelli Scorpion STRs fitted at Hi Q good service and price, great tyres too.

Not lookers though, or painted letters, I bought em cos they'll do the job.
