If I remember (at work so I can't check my garage), I had some goodyears... They had a 1 inch white wall stripe, but didn't complete the "look" I was going for. Tell you the truth, I didn't even clean that 1 inch strip of white wall to the point where the white wall matched the black wall
I bought the Wide Trac Touring II tires from ebay for $699 ($799 w/shipping)
I went to the Vogue Tyre site and this is what they say about my Vogues.
"The Vogue Wide Trac Touring II Tyre with the H speed rating has received the Consumer's Digest BEST BUY recognition of excellence award seven out of the last nine years. Both sizes are available in Vogue's distinct prismatic white/gold or Gold Stripe sidewall. Quality, Style and Performance are the result of our pursuit of excellence."
It doesn't go to mention noise reduction (but I swear I've read that on other sites before).
In other words, I agree with Vogue's statement!!!
