Tires : White letters in or out?

[MontrealBronco]

I still can't make up my mind about the white letters on my tires, on the inside or on the outside ... it's a purely cosmetic question but I want to know what the tendancy is...

Definitely in... Unless you're going to mount bull horns on the hood, put fringe trim around the windshield, and (gasp) LOWER IT!

man thats a good question.......I guess it depents on the rig your putting them on. its 50/50 look good either way.

I just got my tires & wheels yesterday. 33" BFG MT KM's with Eagle 589 wheels! Lettering is out and looks sharp.

Its a purely cosmetic thing so leave it that way, Super clean street trucks the letters look great for off roaders or curb polishers letters in.

Call me old-fashioned...letters face out. I believe it looks great that way.

I would imagine the letters "in" would tend to look best on lifted/modified trucks with the larger tires whereas letters "out" might look good on stock, unlifted trucks with ordinary 235-75-type tires. Since mine is a stock, unlifted, ordinary type, they're "out". But I agree with those who say it's just a preference/cosmetic thing. ;D

I used to run them out...then for kicks I got em mounted in, and I like that alot better. Especially on my EB, with black steel wheels, it looks alot better IN. Now all my vehicles get mounted in.

Letters in for me! ;D

I agree, I get white letters on purpose and put them out. Hell, when I was in high school and couldnt afford white letters we would buy chalk sticks and painfully color the letters white before going out on saturday night.

Bill, Every tire I've ever seen has white letters on one side. I mount them in cause after getting scuffed on rocks they always end up looking bad.

And then there are those of us who wouldn't dream of taking them into rocks!! Rocks? What are them thangs? ;D

I think it depends partially on your wheel too. If you've got fancy-schmancy aluminum or chrome wheels then go white letters showing.

If you've got cheap wheels, or black wheels go white letters in.

Look through the gallery and see what you like.
I'm "in".

 

[uncut69]

I prefer in on the Bronco, but mines not shiny and spends alot of it's time on the trail. On my heep Cherokee it looks better out.

What does (bull horns on the hood,fringe trim around the windshield, and (gasp) LOWER IT!) have to do with the letters out? ???
Must be a CA thing or something!

Letters Out! and NO (bull horns on the hood, fringe trim around the windshield) ;D ;D

I have BFG ATs and I have them in. I think it looks better. According to the poll. I'm in the majority.

My whole truck is black including the wheels, so I had to go white in on mine to finish off the look.
