White lettering in or out?

[MDH33]

I was a child of the 70's and 80's my 20's were during the 90's - I didn't think pictures (even from actual film) were that grainy.

I know! grainy pic I took a pic of with my phone for easy upload.

I love white letters on muscle cars, but that's about it

I'm 37, I had no clue I was so out of touch...I love my whites being out!

FWIW- I just put new BFG M/T's on my 60 and was going to go white-out for a retro look. Got to Costco and they no longer sell BFG's with white lettering and weren't sure if they could order them. Good luck and my vote is White-out!

White out!

New shoes, white out. Ftw. Haha. Only with bfgs though, I think they nailed the font just right.

@Telly so what did you do? Pics?

I think more 80’s vehicles should sport the white letters out!

White out for show, black out for go!

Growing up with classic cars I still like a good white letter out tire sometimes.

Same with white sidewalls. Skinny whites can look good on an old GTO whereas wide whites look great and correct on a ‘55 Mercury Montclair. Skinny redlines looked great on a ‘63 split window Corvette back in the day. Whatever floats your boat but torn up white lettering on a wheeling vehicle looks shabby to me.

White lettering out looks great but I always dreaded keeping them white. Guess I will buy stock in tire cleaner after reading all of the ‘yays’

Spent a lot of time using that product.

Whites out on Frankie would have looked funny to me. He was serious.

so what did you do? Pics?

This is how I'm going to rock. I'm installing the BFG A/T's on the tan FJ60 and install the Toyo Open Country M/T's that are currently mounted on the FJ60 onto the 78 FJ40. Why the trouble you ask? Because I'm giving my son the FJ60 and BFG's will be better on road daily driver tires than the Toyo's.

I may try to get them mounted this weekend. If I do I'll snap a pic of the white letters out!

I bought my 1st 4 wheel truck in 82’ 77 Chevy Blazer and 6 Toyotas since all had black wall out.

Kerchow!

You are really making me want to write Rust Doctor a big check....

I used to think white out was for BFG only because of legacy, but anymore good rule of thumb is to match black-out or white-out to your rims no matter the tire brand. Black-out on black/gunmetal rims and go white-out on white/chrome/raw rims.

Kerchow!

That’s what I’m talkin ‘bout!
