    Natural black facing out! The OWL reminds me of bad 70's TV car chases!

    Hey all I'm new to the forum but was very interested in peoples opinions on this, according to the poll seems like black wall preveal. For me today I'm picking up my 2011 DC,Sport,TRD,black and immediately driving down the road to get the week ugly dunlop's replaced, I opted to go with the Firestone Destination AT's cause the reviews are off the hook (per tirerack.com)...Anyways I will definately be going white letters out, IMO contrary to what a lot of other people think I feel the black walls look a lot less aggressive and just weeker .... Cheers....Eric

    Good choice of tires. And it's your truck to personalize just the way you like it regardless of what anyone thinks. :D

    If solid white litters, face them out.

    If outline white, face in.

    The tires I ordered are BFG AT's (solid white letters)- I would love to see a picture of a light colored 2nd gen Taco with the BFG TKO letters out, anyone? Mine is Desert Sand with the factory 16" alloy wheels. It retains all factory chrome colored emblems.

    I was told from the stealership that white letters out meant that the truck was 4x4. Black side out meant that the truck was 2x4. Easy way to differentiate the two. Any truth to that?

    If you take the time and keep the white letters looking good. Id say they can look pretty sharp. But its a bit easier to maintain black wall out.
