It's not that no one likes white letters, It's they are impossible to keep clean and good looking, and God forbid you accidentally rub a curb the white letters get destroyed and you can scuff the black layer on top of the rest of the tire off to the white layer and end up with white spots on tires.
Below is an extreme case of scuffing. But they only issue with the tire is cosmetic.

I'm considering these tires..I believe they are made by Cooper kinda along side the AT3, ATP and Zeon. I can see the resemblance to all three.

How do you like these tires? Ride smooth? Sound level?

Mastercraft tires are made by Cooper. The Courser AXT is their equivalent of the Cooper AT3. I've had them 5 yrs and roughly 40k miles. Most of those miles were from running them on my ‘08 spring thru fall. I had these tires as well as a set of AT3s on my ‘08 and I liked the Coopers more. The AXTs this past winter were downright horrible on slick roads. They’re getting replaced before next winter.

A couple days ago I replaced my tires after some pretty extensive research.   Stock 275/55 20.   One of the questions I asked in the process was whether I would consider raised white letter.   Easy choice.   No tire I considered offered the option in my size.

 

ended up w Continental Terrain Contact AT.  

Love to see a picture of the Continentals if you got them! I keep my tires stock as well and I have the 275/55 20's. Just traded my '15 Sierra All Terrain for an '18 All Terrain and need to get rid of those Wrangler SRA's! The Continental TerrainContacts are high on my short list along with the Cooper Discoverer AT3. I'm not sure about the white lettering on the Coopers but I think they can be mounted on the inside (but not sure).

Sos pad will clean white lettering. Super cheap and easy. 

I have found Miracle Eraser also works great on true white walls, so I dont think it'll be any different on the raised lettering

top photo is the before, front sitting at 38.25" and the after is sitting at a even 40".  the rear is currently at a 41" with the ability to adjust with air pressure to the bags.  Also I no longer have rubbing issues at full turn in reverse :)

    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
