    I agree with some of the others...if you wheel and get the whites dirty often, then its up to you to keep them minty. I prefer mine in, unless its an old school truck before the "blacked out" mentality was around.

    So I have a black truck, and want to put RED accents on it. I want to get the General Grabbers and put the red lettering out. So you do you, and what you like.

    That is probably the only tire that I would prefer to have the letters facing out. I came close to getting a set of those for mine for that exact reason!

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Do what you like. You paid for them and you'll have to drive with them.

    I didn't know "mafe" was a word either. I guess that's what I get for trying to multi task on the Boss's time. :D

    white letters look great until they get scuffed up, then not so much.

    Do you take a poll before you match your socks with your slacks? You could just leave it to the installer, and be surprised.
