    I'm sorry, but it needs whitewall tires. For sidewalls that tall, it's just way too much black, so a whitewall stripe would break it up.

    Yup. Same problem with my Safari.

    I don't know what size you are looking for. I had some Toyo Extensa A/S's installed on my Crown Vic a couple of months ago. I was surprised to see they had whitewalls on one side. Mine are 225/70R15, but they have other 15" sizes. Decent tire, not too expensive. Might be worth a look.

    Plenty of 195-75R15 through 235-75R15 whitewall tires still available from Goodyear, Firestone, Hankook, and Michelin, among others. The 14" are harder to find, but not impossible.

    My current tires, although blackwall, still have quite a bit of tread on them.

    What I'd really like are 235/70-15's....

    Once I get decent WHEELS, the old tires will then be ready to be replaced.

    With your very common bolt pattern (5 x 4.5, standard offset), you've got a lot to choose from. I'd go junk yard searching for a set of 16" alloys from a late-model Crown Victoria..... You might even be able to find some 17's if you so choose.

    But my problem is that I can't spare the money for anything, as I'm on disability and a fixed income. I have stuff to trade but I can't find anyone who has anything I'd want or use. I'd love to have the cash to buy a set of Torq-Thrust Ds in 17" and 60-series tires. That would be great-looking on my rig.
