If I remember correctly having the black side out makes the tire appear larger to the eye. Optical illusion, which is interesting.

White out would match the decal on your hood, and would give a decent break to the all black truck.

Although, I am quite fond of the all black look, so thats a tough call.

Oh, also, you can flaunt what you got better if you've got the white side out. Be proud of what you are rolling?

my first set of mud tires only came with black walls so I didn't have a choice. now I have a replacements set in my basement and I'm not sure if I want the white letters out or not.

I think my concern is that if/when I go offroading i will damage the white lettering on a rock and then it'll look like crap and I'll have to turn them around anyway.

I'm gonna say Blackwall out, but to be honest I'm not a fan of black wheels.

Nice rig BTW!

i just bought a set of 33 general grabbers this morning, i think im gonna go black this time, i had my dunlops white out and it looked good for a few months and then the white started to stain, i used the blechewhite tire cleaner stuff and it helped, but now i have a few letters missing, i guess rock and curb rash took the white right off the tires, so im gonna have to say black....

but i will say either way would look awesome, just a matter of keeping up with the white letters so they last

On your rig, definitely black side out. You current color scheme is great. I think white out on your rig would cheapen your look. You have the custom off-road rig look now. White letters would give it a cheaper cheesier look in my opinion. I have seen some jeeps where I like the white letters out, but those are mostly brighter colored TJs.

out no doubt, shows how new and nice the tires are and make your rig look sharper overall, brings more attention to ones eye when they have huge white letters staring you down telling you the type of tire your running. also helpful for others who pass you and see the agrressive tread of the tire and wanna know the make and brand etc

i have their rack sliders and front bumper. they have been good to me and I like their stuff


i went white side out needed some contrast to the rig and though it never drives on the street (4k in 2 years) it looks better with the white out IMO.

FRITZ - I used the white letter pens before. They work great but take a while to do because you might have to do two coats.

IRONGRAVE - Those look awesome!

If it is a mall crawler white letters out, if you wheel it black walls.
