Looking for opinions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going to have tires put on my wheels soon and I don't know if I should put white letters in or out. 1972 Blazer 15X8 alloys tires= 33X12.5X15 tires. I am looking for others opinions on this hard, hard decision.

Thanks, Rick

My tires are set with the letters out and I really don't like it. The tire shop wants $80 to turn them around. You can see pics in the link in my signature.

I turned mine in, and I really don't like it. I'd rather have them out. Jeff.

Here is my new wheels and tires - I choose white out because my top will be white and I like thought it would look good.

MMGOODIE · 10-15-2003, 05:50 PM

I have and will always go white out on my 4x4's. IMHO it just looks a whole he!! of a lot better.

k5bucket_o_rust · 10-15-2003, 05:55 PM

1970blazin i have the same wheels as u. I think im going 2 go with the white out 2 but im still going to ponder over it.

Blackwalls for me!

**Steven B** · 10-15-2003, 09:15 PM

I too perfer to have the blackwalls

Bluegoose972 · 10-15-2003, 09:37 PM

I prefer blackwalls. I have messed up the lettering a few times jumping curbs or bouncing off rocks. It also depends on the lettering. If the script looks cool, keep the white out. Otherwise, keep it hidden for a clean look.

I have always based it on intended use. If it's for street cruisin and looks, put 'em out, if it's for beatin, put 'em in. Nothin looks worse than f'd up white letters. Gotta blame your old lady for curbin tires and such...uh...not that I've ever done that...

JayDubBlazer · 10-16-2003, 08:12 AM

It depends on the vehicle and but for larger tires I think that letters in look better.

71Blazer · 10-16-2003, 12:30 PM

Here's an easy solution; turn them out on the driver's side and in on the passenger side then if you're not happy with one side go round to the other. You'll set a new trend

Yellow would be an excellent choice.
