Post by: TN_Tracker on February 10, 2005, 01:54:25 PM: I actually like white letters out. I have mine that way but I've also noticed they are getting scuffed from trail use. :-/

Aluminum or chrome wheels - white letter out.
White spoke - either way.

tall black letters or short ones

Post by: SiKiD_01 on February 10, 2005, 07:18:42 PM: white letters out always make your tyres look smaller than they actually are.

black rims, all black.

and if its either small or big letters, go small.

(if they dont know what the tyre is by looking at the tread pattern, they dont deserve to know)

Post by: Whipped on February 10, 2005, 10:15:49 PM: I prefer black wall out on all my vehicles except on my

Triumph TR-6 then it's red walls out, and on my Jeff

Gordon car it's yellow walls out.

Post by: keith on February 11, 2005, 12:12:58 AM: I prefer white letters out on trucks. Ã‚Â The Deuler Revo's on our Montero Sport look great with the white lettering. Ã‚Â When I got my high-tec retreads they sent me 2 with white letters and 2 without so I had to go blackwall on the Tracker.

Post by: Bobzooki on February 11, 2005, 01:03:25 AM: Doesn't matter a bit to me. Goodyear mounted mine white letters out, and yeah, they're scuffed from rocks. I really don't care, as long as the tread's still biting the rocks.

Post by: SnoFalls on February 11, 2005, 08:29:05 AM: I went white (outline) letters outside, but can only really tell when it's clean :)

Post by: blyota91 on February 11, 2005, 08:44:40 AM: Black in! I feel obligated to clean my tires if the whites are out, and I'm not a fan of cleaning tires.

Post by: chrisvitarasport94 on February 12, 2005, 05:15:07 AM: 5 BFG MT tyres |removethispart|@ Ã‚Â£100 each - I'm not to proud to be a designer label boy - white letters out! - and it let's the guys with the cheap remoulds know why they're stuck and you're not! 8)
Title: Re: Tires Blackwall or White letters out?
Post by: mudfkr on February 12, 2005, 05:48:29 AM: White out, unless there are like a "Ching Shin" type brand ;D

I run Monoform Mongrels and that don't have pretty white letters, they have big black ones and a pic of a bulldog instead.

Oh yeah Chrisvitarasport,
They are a cheap remold too - but they would eat ya BFG M/Ts any day ;)
Title: Re: Tires Blackwall or White letters out?
Post by: chrisvitarasport94 on February 12, 2005, 07:06:51 AM: what are they then - BFG copies??? ;D

I was originally set on the Blackstar Guyanes, which I think are also available down under aren't they?

went for the BFGs for on-road manners, given the feedback I got from remould users here in the UK

Post by: Rhinoman on February 12, 2005, 07:47:24 AM: I never had any problems with Colway remoulds, you can buy three for the price of one BFG. They are a lot noisier on the road though. The BFGs I have now were a good deal (used). Definately white letters out.
Title: Re: Tires Blackwall or White letters out?
Post by: Jookycola on February 12, 2005, 09:02:43 AM: white out on white trucks,especially with chrome wheels. my black tracker i had only blackwalls. the only complaint about white letters out is it sux to put armor all on them because they get black smuges on the letters...or even worse you gotta try to "paint" around them.

My FJ40....white rims = white letters

Post by: INGERSOL on February 15, 2005, 08:04:03 AM: Black Truck...Black Steel Wheels...Black letters. All black....Thats how to do it.

Whenever I see white letters out on a black car I think of.......MADMAXMUTHERFUUCKER

No BFG copies here mate, may be a bit Simex copying ;)

These are Aussie made completely remolded from bead to bead.

They didn't stand up to my mates Nissan Patrol (all 2700 Kgs of it :o) very well with premature wearing on the road but I think I'll get a fair run from them being as mines only 1320 Kgs.
