Our LeMans had a BRAND NEW set of white letters tires on it when we bought it last Jan. On the way home from AL with the LeMans I called and ordered a set of Cooper red lines from Diamondback. Once they arrived I pulled those white letters off and tossed em! LOL Mt friend Mike gladly took them out of the trash pile, blacked out the white letters and they now reside on his 62 Pontiac wagon! LOL
