I always go for white letters on trucks, suv's, and certain cars. I personally think these vehicles look "wrong" without white letter tires. I have white letters on my 90 Cherokee, and my 85 Daytona project car, and my 88 Shelby Z, and they ALL look better with white letters. But again, just my opinion...

Saying, if you wheel a lot your white letters will not last very long before they are either rubbed off or so dirty it will take hours to clean them. Sort of like wasting time polishing aluminum rims. I've never seen a pro rig with white lettering. Most tires in the pro sizes do not come with white lettering.
