White letter or Black letters out?

Actually, I prefer an all black wall tire. In other words, both sides have black lettering. Why? Because you can still see the white lettering when facing inside. Sorry, i'm OCD!

Personal choice...and the vehicle it's going on. My 90 pathfinder that was a dark gray...looked better with the white-walls. My 4-runner (blue) looks better black-wall.

I like whites out most usually but it depends on the tire and wheel.
IIRC there are several polls on this around the forum if you're just trying to get a general consensus.

I assumed you were planning on changing the front to match if you changed the rear. Guess I may've just made an @$$ out of Uma Thurman.

I just realized I never even replied to the thread that I started. And yes, the plan was to just pay the extra $12 and have the front 2 flipped to white letter. But I decided against it. Currently , the plan is to plastidip the wheels and when I upgrade tires, got to white letters out.

White letters went the way of the mullet and 1990, all for very good reasons.
