    If not true blackwalls then white letters out. Looks retarded when white letters are showing on the inside. I would know, my sister does that to be "cool"

    K believe that the white walls out give it a more classic look. I have my f-100 with letters out. The black letters out gibe it a more sleek/sport/street look. I have the blacks out on my TRD sport.

    Light color: either
    Dark color: out

    Especially out if dark wheels. Otherwise there is no contrast.. It all just blends into a blob of nothing..

    Just IMO of course.

    You could try NASCAR and go yellow letters out.. :rolleyes:

    Really depends on the tire IMO. I really like the look of BFG AT's with letting out, but my Duratracs are turned in. The reason being the overall height of Goodyear's lettering, it looked funny to me going down the road as the big letters were going 'round and 'round.

    White letters out, looks really clean IMO.

    "On a side note, does anyone else HATE the fact that Discount Tire splooges all over your tires/wheels when they install tires and don't clean it up? "

    I dislike discount tires, there work isnt very good, they dont pay attention to detail. Its a business that gets people in and out without any regard to taking care of customers vehicles.

    From what I read from other members here, Discount Tires tend to provide very good service. Maybe try a different location?
