White letters in or out

[Sam Harris]

Obviously an opinion, and I’m sure it’s been discussed at length. But more opinions are welcome

Out.

White letters IN, always IN!! Haha. IMO, There is nothing worse than seeing white letters on tires, it steals attention away from the vehicle. They also don't stay white, and look even worse as they age. It reminds me of the old 50's cars that had the white rings. There's nothing cool about white on tires.

100% depends on the overall setup. Maybe provide pics?

Sorry for the bad quality pic, this is with white letters out. I sometimes think I would have liked them in instead. I got them out to make fun of my uncle, he always cheaps out on tires so I just mock him with these.

Not a great picture, and she’s very dirty.. also, just had these mounted, but already changed my mind, and getting the Yokohama’s later this afternoon when they come in. Liked my old ones too.

20 years ago i would say out but now i say in.

 

[Danny3737]

IN. Otherwise they look like dirty whitewalls when you’re driving

If I am looking at a modern automobile, 80's up, I say white letter in, but looking at Pre 80's retros I say out unless they screw up a 69 Camaro with ungodly 24" rims.

Ride quality of the Yoke’s is great. The Pathfinders were not bad, but for a difference of about $25/ tire, definitely like the Yokohama’s better. They are also snow rated (snowflake symbol) so they should be much better in snow that the cheaper, but pretty decent Pathfinders.

So I decided on out, just because these are stock wheels and not larger. I think it looks good with the letters breaking up the sidewall a little. If I had 18-20” wheels, I’d have gone with white in. Thanks for the feedback [emoji106][emoji16]

Your opinion is false.
