Cant decide

Black wall or White letters.

I decided to put BFG AT KOs on the truck.

Cant decide whether to go black or white.

What do you guys have?

White wall looks better. unfortunately I did not have an option so I have black walls

er....white letters, white walls do not look right on most trucks. if yours is older then ok it should not look to bad.

Since they're "billboard tires" show the letters! I've got BFG AT KOs and I have no reason to hide that fact. Just my 2 cents is all.

BTW, I like the line "white letters out, white walls in". Good one

Haulingboat, buy American! BFG is owned by Michelin (french). The job you save may be your own.

Hi,

white letters out.

White walls....hm.. it depends for what car, for a car from the 40s or 50s it would be gerat on some.

BTW, I never saw a pick up with with wall tires.

I have seen a few people put them on their trucks, not from factory.

To me, it seems like white letter tires look cleaner the longest, from my past experience with both types.

Black walls out! If your truck looks good you do not want to draw attention to your tires. The wheels should shine and compliment the theme of the truck. White letters should only be shown on racing themed vehicles.

I prefer white letters out on my 4x4. Black tires on a 4x4 looks like it's not a daily driver. To me, it also liiks too bland of tires. Plus, I also think white letters look more clean.

Not to be egotistical, but I'm going to anyways. I think my truck is an all around looker. No matter what I do, it still looks good. LOL, I just love my truck, sorry!

You might as well show off that you just paid $640 for tires.

On a 4x4 they do look better.
