White Wide Wall Tires

3/19/24 “My wife absolutely loves her 2002 Thunderbird (Inspiration Yellow with the full-accent interior).  The tires needed replaced not due to wear but, rather, because they had aged out and could no longer be considered safe.  Our local tire shop tried and tried to find the OEM size of 235/50R17 in a wide whitewall style but had no luck.  We also tried online searches but to no avail.  All we could come up with was 235/55R17 rather than the stock size.  Just as we were ready to give up on the whitewall idea, Thunderbird Specialties came to the rescue by offering a 2” whitewall in the factory-correct 235/50R17 size.  Not only are the tires the proper size, but they are American-made .  This is yet another example of how Thunderbird Specialties has helped us properly maintain this special car.”
