    I like black out because I don't want to be called a racist.
    I wish the tire companies would put just their name on the tires like Goodyear and other race tire companies do. Also would like one side of the tire smooth with no markings, or patterns, would make cleaning and applying tire dressing so much easier. But that's just my opinion.

    I'm a white letters out kind of guy when it comes to trucks and pretty much any RWD V8 2 door car made prior to 1990 or so. I really want a set of RWL tires for my 84 Capri RS to complete the 80's look.

    One of the last 4,283 threads asking the same thing, a member actually responded, "in, because the tire company doesnt pay me to advertise for them"...

    Still wondering if stupid has killed this member yet.

    It looks good either way but if you don't want white letters on your tires then buy them without the white letters, most companies make them that way and in most cases are a couple bucks cheaper.

    I think a vehicle looks goofy as hell with raised white letter tire mounted and the letters are on the inside, JMO.

    I've always had them on the outside...

    I think slick black tires look better than white letters. But if you aren't going to keep the tires jet black, go white side out
