1971 Demon what's the Vote?

Whitewalls are NOT performance oriented. In looks OR performance. PERIOD. Old man cars have them. Old woman cars have them. Not performance cars. Blackwall or white letter tires have a performance look. Not whitewalls.

Now, the only exception being on older rat rods and or hot rods.

actually you are correct, the performance cars had redline tires (pre70) to differentiate them from the non performance white walls. However due to redlines being unpractical with availability and price, I have seen a lot of performance cars with white wall replacements. I still don't think they look half bad, and are definitely different these days when everyone has the same thing everywhere you look.
