    I'm getting new tires soon. My Tacoma is Silver Mica, so do I mount the tires with the white letters in or out?

    I'm posting a poll here to make up my mind and the winning answer after 30 days decides it for me as I can go either way. Vote now and vote often!

    What color are your wheels? If they are black, White letters out. If they are silver, white letters in.

    What ever tickles your pickle. Some vehicles just look better with white letters out. In my humble opinion, the Tacoma isn't one of them..

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    I went out on mine and loved the look. Until i wheeled it. Then turned them white side in.

    If you plan on wheeling, in.

    Looks like the poll is leaning towards IN, but I'm still torn.

    I stopped worrying about how others feel about me 25 yrs ago...by treating people right I have no regrets. Keep in mind my quote was about white letters on tires, pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things wouldn't you say?

    If they are cheap $20 tire with a knockoff brand like Okyear, Michelineo, FB Goodrich, you'd want the lettering in. If it's a high baller brand tire that costs $1000 per tire, letters out to show off.
