    I'm fixing to get new tires for my white taco. I haven't seen any pictures of white tacos with white lettering on their tires. Does anybody think this will look good? I will probably end up going with black since I have black bull bar and getting a black toolbox but i just want to keep my options open.

    She's gone but not forgotten.
    I'm a big fan of blacked out (pics in my gallery) but I saw a white 2nd gen here in town, had the tire letters white and it looked sharp.

    Last set of tires I had on my Corolla, one side was raised white (outlined), the other was all black. I couldn't turn them around because they were directional, but if you get a set that can be turned around you kinda get a chance to see what you like best.

    And when you're getting them mounted, you can have them mount one with the white letters out and one without, then stick it on the truck to see what you like better. I did that once with two different tires to see which I liked better...

    white out is too 80s/90s for me and besides to keep them white can be a PITA.

    White lettering is a pain to keep clean. I had those on a truck long ago. I'm sticking with solid black sidewalls now.

    I think the white letters apply more to the "old school" generation.
