    I just installed some new tires with white letters facing in. From certain angles you can see the inside white letters. I know this doesn't bother most people but it does bother me. Is there something simple to color them with that will last a decent amount of time? Thank you.

    Maybe a paint pen? If you search the forum I think I’ve seen threads on this before.

    In my experience, the white will get dirty and fade and won’t be noticeable after a while.

    Eventually dirt and normal use will take care of that, especially since you won't be washing them the same as if they were facing out. My last set of tires had white letters which I faced inside. I don't think I noticed the letters for very long.

    Absolutely wash off the protective gel coating so that what ever you do sticks.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    The blue coating comes off easiest with hot water

    You installed them backwards. White letters always face out. ;)

    I had white letters out on my last Tacoma but my new one is metallic gray and all blacked out so that's why.
