I know some people like white wall tyres, but not on a Porsche, please. Yep stick them on your VW Beetle, but not on a Porsche. Lets maintain some integrity.

Can i ask if you ring up to buy these for your Porsche please just lie and say it is for a Beetle, then we can sleep at night.

Dougal gets a good response when he posts and as a long term supporter of DDK he's welcome to post in a few different sections. It pays towards running the forum

I haven't thought about putting whitewalls on my car for ages.

Now it's all I can think about.

I'd call that a nightmare.

yep sorry i did skim through all the sections. the plan is to let anyone who might want to know. the hope is that everyone knows and can make an informed decision to not put white walls on a Porsche.

How about a silly film to make up for it?

We have an ex-usa 911 in here that has white walls with the stripe on the inside. You can only enjoy the look when you are standing/lying underneath it.

Its the only way to fit a white wall.

I don't know what looses me more customers, being rude about white wall tyres, or telling people that fitting overly wide modern tyres on rear wheel drivr classic sportscars is a miss guided mistake made by cowards.
