I voted for the White lettering. Nice white lettering on a real black tire looks sharp.

 

I'd only run the white lettering if they were a good name brand tire i.e., Goodyear, Bridgestone. I would not tell the world however, I'm running continental super snow grippers; they'd be run black letters out.

I think it depends on the vehicle style/type. If you're going for the hot rod look, then white letters are a must. If you're going for style, black all the way.

Black walls, i have my Deuler A/T Revos Black out with my Dark blue truck and it looks really good, I kinda acts like a frame for your rims

Depends on the tires. I like the white letters on the BFG ATs and MTs I have.

I prefer the look of blackwall out.

 

The last 2 times I took a vehicle in to get tires changed I told them "Blackwall OUT"

 

they put them white out :cheers:

 

Why..... cause that's what everyone usually does.

I don't want to be like everyone, so now I change them myself.

In the words of Natalie Imbruglia, "I'm torn"...The Wilderness AT's came whites out. The first set of Revos were installed whites out. At my request, the set of revos I got just before the new year were put on black out. I like the change. I like the look either way, whites were just a bit more difficult for me to keep clean and detail, so I thought I'd see how the blacks went.

I usually request to have the black side out. The white letters start to turn brown after a while, so I just have them mounted "black out" so that I dont have to worry about it.

BFG Land Terrain's here. I know..its a Wal-mart tire, but they look really sharp and they have done me very well. White letter out looks classic on my 94'.

what brand of tire? I have never seen the white letters go brown except when I had mud on them.

I use soft scrub with bleach to keep the white letters really white.

I like the White out on a truck, and black out on a car (depends mostly on the look of the tire). But that said, it really makes no difference to me.

Black- so easy to maintain, and it doesn't distract or draw attention from the entire vehicle.

 

That's my anal opinion, but either way, both styles look good.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
