I think blackwall too but wanted to see what the general idea was ,,,,,im also gonna put my spare underneath the truck with the factory spare tire bracket ,,,

[Sicklajoie]

Blackwalls all the way.

[lolife99]

blackwall

[uncle]

Blackwall

[tommys72]

Yep...I agree with all these guys

[3drburb]

White letters gets my vote, it will look good with the white trim also the with letters on the doors and break up the black on the truck and wheels.

[68Stepbed]

blackwalls

[Econman]

I vote blackwall as well...

I love white letters, but not on those rims on that truck...

[scotts72heavyhalf]

White letters! My son loves them on his 72!

[67ctener]

I like what's on it best.

[swamp rat]

White letters out all the way, if not you need to black out the white letters so they don't show from under the truck, that looks tacky....

[Stocker]

Do what looks best to you. Years ago, I favored white letters out, but now, I would rather see blackwalls.

The mickey thompson s/t in white must be on the outside. This is a special case of white letters to the outside for me. Most all others would be put to the inside.

WHITE LETTERS OUT!! LOL in all seriousness I am true to the time of our trucks and love that muscle look of the white letters. I've always run them on all of my vehicles. From my 2006 GMC CC Duramax to the '72 C10, which just had a new set of 275/60-15 Cooper Cobras installed. Most importantly though, do what you enjoy. That's what really makes the truck your own.

If these tires were another brand or whatever I would not even think about it but Mickey Thompson is a cool nameplate as far of the history of our old trucks , I will probly put them blackwall back in the day I prefered white letters , the Mickey Thompson name would fit my motief I have going on with this truck though ,,,,,,

I can say I probably would have not ordered those particular tires to run blackwall! -lol They have one of the coolest looking letter designs out there and its a shame to turn them in, but white letters and and painted rims with dog dishes don't jive with me. If you were running 8" Rallye's, I'd say white letters all the way. In fact, I don't even like the look of a Rallye wheel WITHOUT white letters.

[Milo's 72]

Order them without white letters then no worrys I myself prefer white letters out. My dad gets mad at all the letters.he says wide whites all the way yuk.

I think the way it looks right now with the thin white wall looks best....maybe lower it a little more. However, since your set on changing the look....go BLACKWALL. If it gets old...flip them around.

You know I probly would lower it more but we have never ending road construction here in the town where I live its frikkin ridiculous they hire contractors that take 5 years to do a job that should take 6 months , then soon as thats done THEY DO IT AGAIN I cant lower it any more or I could not even ride it ,,,
