Default White letters in or out?
​​​​​​OK, help me decide. I'm about to have a new set of Firestone Destination AT tires put on my truck and they have the option for the white lettering to be in or out. I can't decide if I want them to show or not.

My current set of Goodyear tires has the white lettering facing out.

I like the way the white letters facing out looks when new, but can't stand how bad it looks as they stay to age.

The truck is a 2012 White s-crew with chrome rims and bumpers of that helps.

Out. Here's a post I did back in 2013 for a super easy way to keeping your letters bright white:

I've been using that technique since and it works wonders. My new truck has black sidewalls but I do like the look of white letters out, especially on your truck with the tires you want.

I don't like white letters, but having tires with them and facing in is worse. Out.

Agreed! They look goofy when you could see them on the inside. They will look fine facing out!

If you aren't going to shine your tires and keep the letters clean and bright, I vote in.

I did mine out. I also think it depends on exterior color and other trim. For me, I wouldn't do white on white.
