White lettering in or out on new tires?

The tires are on, black wall out (on all four, but thanks for the creative suggestions). The mounting guy wanted to put the lettering on the outside. So we all have our preferences here, as with most things in life. I think it looks good: black truck-black tires.

I did notice right away that these tires come with a bit more road noise and even some very low grade vibration. This compared to the general grabbers stx street tires they replaced. But I hope to not get stuck in the mud or spin out like the generals did. One time a Mercedes E series pulled me out of a snow bank. I couldn’t get enough traction in 4wd. Now that’s embarrassing.

 

SOOOO!? -- I guess you are saying you should be ashamed of your tire purchase unless you buy a "big well recognized" brand?
My, my -- the advertising industry loves your type!

 

White out offsets the black on black look and makes the SCS pop more.

I sure hope they like stripes, and body damage.

 

I think white out is only acceptable on black trucks...

 

Depends on the lettering and the look you are going for. I like out as I think it breaks up the look, and I think it looks sharp. But it is all personal preference.

 

Old guys like seeing the white letters, so unless you are 60+ put them on the inside.

 

I’m white letters out all day! I think if there is a lot of black sidewall it looks like shit. Lower profile then fine keep em black.

 

Thanks for the nice photos of your new tires.

 

Black out! Make sure you rub them down with Color Black Tire cleaner.
