Tire Selection - Black or white

Blackwall or white letters out?

http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/...52&uid=2902753

I had the tires mounted black out but then thought the white letters would add a good contrast. Not too late as these go back for balancing tomorrow.

I had two sizes mounted for trial fit - 235-70-15 and 255-70-15. The 235s are what I will be going with.

Re: Tire Selection - Black or white

You should put a side picture of your truck on the photo shop forum and get them to put some wide whites on it. You might be surprises on how it looks.

Re: Tire Selection - Black or white

The wide whites do look good on these trucks but that is not the look I am going for at this time. I have decided to stay with the black walls but can always swap them around at a later date.

Thanks for the replies

Re: Tire Selection - Black or white

Do those rims have any trim ring or center cap?
