Quick question about the factory 20's

Do they all have white letter tires on them from the factory? I've seen some blackwall ones and am wondering if i'd have to have them flipped.

Not sure what year/style you are talking about, but these came right off an 2006 HD, no white letters:

i think it depended on what trim package the 20" were on. i know that almost all of the 08s that are ordered with the 20s have the white raised letters, but in previous years the harley models did not.

On the 2007 you could get the factory 20s with or without OWL. My truck came without them.

As far as I know, regardless of trim level (i.e. XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Harley-Davidson) the Goodyear Wrangler AT/S in a 275/65SR20 is the only tire that Ford uses. However, this tire is available in both a black sidewall & white lettered sidewall version.

I believe the black walls for the 20's come from the factory on the 350's, whereas the OWL are on the 250's

Nope.. My F350 has the 20"s with the whitewalls.

It might just be the luck of the draw

When I purchased truck white letters were out. Waited 5k miles and when I had tires rotated I also had them flipped on rims and re-balanced. It looks alot better and easier to keep up.

It is all about how the trucks are ordered. The OWL tires are an option that adds a little over $100 to the price.

If you go to Fords website and build a new super duty you can select between OWL and BSW, OWL costs $130 more.
