I'm partial to white letters myself over black walls.

White walls? Never!

I have cooper cobras with white lettering out. Personally I think the tires suck in wet weather and snow. I wish I never got them. If you do put them on the white lettering definitely looks better.

i generally pick my tires on how they handle and wear and if they also look good that is a plus.

to do it the other way around does not usually work out.

Well I spin alot in wet weather no matter how easy I try to let the clutch out. In snow I definitely need alot of weight in the bed of the truck to get decent traction. I got these tires because it was one of the only ones to come in 235/60r15 (at least at the 5 or so places I looked into). I should have went with 235/75r15 so I could get a better choice of a/t tires. I will say the tread design is pretty decent on the Cobras, but I would say it will do alot better on a car then a pickup. If you have other options I would look around before deciding on these. Maybe someone will come along with something more positive about them, but for me I feel it was a mistake to buy them. Once I get extra cash I'm looking into new tires. Too bad though they only have like 5,000 miles on them too. I might put 31x10.5s on or 235/75r15

I'm the same way BUT My size 275/60r17 is hard to come by now, My only other choices are BFG Log trail, Yokohama Geolandar's,

There is Hankook thay have a size hopefuly thay will still have it.

I have Yokohama's on now AVS/ST'S But the PUNKS at Yokohama stoped makeing them.

I love white walls, on a tall, wide, mud tire, but on a street truck id say stick with the black. Maybe go 1 size wider and see what they got.

I've got Copper Cobras on my 95 F-150 and I love the way they look, if you go to my gallery I got pics. I don't think you'll go wrong getting them, I've got 10000 miles on mine and they still look brand new, absolutley no wear on them whatsoever.
