Raised White Lettering IN or OUT?

In......always in, no matter what.......unless you're a bro......cause "dude they're like tatts.....but for tires"

 

Out for Duratracs....

 

Derp...I mean in....

 

at first, i was all about out. what a mistake. once their dirty, they never quite get super white again, even after doing bleach white, wet sand, etc.

 

In looks best to me..

 

In if it just white lettering, out if its outlined letters.

 

Not a fan of white letters. They eventually get dirty and look like hell.

 

Use steel wool and soap with water and the will be bright white once again!

 

Great tip, thank you for sharing!

 

White out is not terrible just causes more work. I use "Simple Green" and leave it sit for a minute and tire brush it super white again. But fr tire shine, you always need to use spray and no gel.

Every other set of tires I alternate.

 

Definitely INNNNNNNNN

 

Dunlop GrandTreks OUT FTW!

 

Truck would look sick white out!

 

Not a Nascar, so..IN!

 

I've always liked black out. I've worked part time at a huge tire store for six years in different places while going to high school and college and usually it's the older people that like the white letters out. White letters get dirty and are hard to keep clean too. Most people that really know tires will usually tell you the black looks better. White letters look really dumb too driving down the road cause then they look like you have white walls. My first mod to my truck was flipping the tires to black out within 2 days of purchasing so that shows how I don't like white letters lol

 

I always used the old school Brillo pad with the blue soap already in it
I used to detail limos in college...

 

have them out

 

I used to think I liked em in, but once I got my off road with em out, ive liked em out ever since.

 

Haha, you know sales guys make a living at complimenting your choices right?

FWIW, I got my wheels and tires mounted up yesterday at America's Tire. All the tech's said they really liked the black on black with the white letters out look, even though they thought it would look stupid before they did it, haha.

I think it depends on the wheel color, truck color, and the results you are going for. Maybe it's my age showing but I don't mind the "old school look" and I'm even considering adding some 'late '70's, early '80's graphics, maybe some red, orange, yellow stripes (kinda like TC's chopper from "Magnum P.I.") accross the front fenders and doors.

 

You guys realize this thread was made in 2011 right????
