Mike Melton explains why white-letter tires cost $300-$350, about $50-$100 more than blackwall. Manufacturers add an extra rubber layer under the sidewall to hold the white lettering, which increases material and engineering costs. Cooper is one of the few brands still making them.
Why do white letter tires cost more than just a black wall tire? A lot of people don't understand what goes into it. Making that white letter tire. Cooper is about one of the only brands that still makes a white letter. There's a couple more, but Cooper's your main one. A lot of people ask, well, why don't they make 35s and stuff like that in a white letter? Well, let me explain something to you. So when you go in here to put the white letter right, there's another layer rubber that's in there up under that. Up under that black wall. So when you go in there to lay that extra piece of rubber, it costs a lot more money to manufacture that tire. So say you got a tire that's, you know, 300, $350. Well, now they're putting more rubber into that tire, more engineering into that tire. Now it costs you more money. Now you. Now you're pissed off because now the tire is more money. So that's the reason why you can't have your cake and eater. 2. But if y' all want white leather tires in a 35, 1250, 20, or 37s or something like that, put in the comments and we'll tell Nitto, we'll tell Torio that if y'. All, if we can get 5 million likes, then we'll tell them to put a white letter in there.
