New Tires: black wall or raised white letter? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bow Tie Scottie · 11-05-2010, 06:17 PM

My truck is in need of some new shoes and I cannot decide on which type to get either black wall or rasied white letter. What do you think? I've am considering Goodyear's Wrangler Silent Armor or Michelin's LTX. What is on your truck? Please suggest.

I normally paint the letters flat black and put them in, But on your white truck, IMO they would look good out.

PRUNEDA · 11-05-2010, 07:42 PM

On your truck, I would go with white letters out.

primrrd · 11-05-2010, 07:55 PM

I would scream BLACKWALL!!!!
(but the whites on the silver truck with black ralleys actually looks pretty bueno!)
So my vote must be decidedly undecided.
Put white out on one side and black in on the other and drive it awhile
decide which suits you best.
(i did this with my ralleys for a while. red on one side, silver on the other!)

I'm not much of a white letter fan, but this looks B/A.

joe1982 · 11-05-2010, 08:48 PM

my dad has the wranglers on his truck, they look pretty sweet.

Actually, I prefer Mississippi whitewalls, but what do I know. I'm not crazy about using my truck for free advertising, but the raised white letters will probably add a bit of pop to your square.

I have goodyear wranglers with the white letters out. I have the same wheels and hubcaps as you. I think they look good and fit in with the period of the truck.

foamypirate · 11-06-2010, 12:24 AM

White letters!

Letters out!

bigblock73 · 11-06-2010, 10:51 AM

For me, white letters out go on muscle car/trucks, black out go on everything else.
