white-in. no need to be a billboard for a tire mfg. plus if you get too close to a curb, you scuff up everything and looks horrible. i swap tires for winter and they are stacked up on top each other for 4-6 months, the black will transfer onto the white and is almost impossible to get looking good again. black sidewalls always look good and a little armor-all gets them looking good again quick.

I like the white out personally.... I use "Bleach white" from the autoparts store and it keeps them nice and white (I rub curbs constantly). I just like the way they look. Unless there larger tires, then I would say white in. Anything over 33" I would go white in....I have 31's and I think they look nice white out. But its your call.

Big truck tires, black out. Medium tires like white letters out. On cars, black out.
Been thinking that way long as I can remember. Odd, really.

I personally prefer the white out. Only difference is if I had a black car or truck, then I'd put the white in.

Current style dictates white letters to the inside.

It depends on the vehicle to me. Some just don't look right with them out.

Depends on the tire too. Some say "Huckster 500 Dyna Thump Special" or some such crap. "Goodyear Polyglas GT" on the other hand, always looked good.

I have letters out, but now that I look at it, I wish I had em in. I think it depends on the truck. Mine's black, so I shoulda put em in.

white out - all the time, everytime

my last truck was blacked out (no chrome, all bumpers and grill painted black) and i rocked 31x10.50 All Terrains with solid white letters showing - it looked bad-***.

Now, my F150 is an XLT, dark blue, chrome grill and bumpers, chrome side trim, and white outline BFG tires. looks sweet also.
