I just picked up some new Cooper Cobra GT Radials and wondering if I should put the white lettering in or out? What is your preference? Here is a pic of my old BFG white out. I'm thinking black out.

IMO, it depends on the car. That car I would say white out.

White out.

Back in the day every lettered tire was a badge of honer

I'm usually a white in guy but I agree the white letters do look good on that car especially with those wheels. Unless they turn brown then in they go.

I was just looking at your pic again. I had forgotten that the fender was almost as long as the quarter on those.

White out

White out. They are a great looking tire, I just bought four myself. And something I didn’t know, the black side looks totally different, complete with a cartoon cobra. Lol

White letters out. Back in the day you were proud to show off your white letter tires.

Color me old school.

I just noticed the cobra.

Out

I'm gonna differ and p*#$ y'all off : I prefer black out, as I think it's a cleaner look in total.

Take 2 photos of it, and black the letters out on one, compare and decide what YOU like.

I usually go with white letters in, but on the car the white letters look great.

I'm a white letter out on 1970 and up and in on 1969 and down guy...

Old school, out. Otherwise, on someone else's car. White letters in looks awful. Yes, we see them.

Not gonna piss me off...I agree 100%!!!! Black out looks MUCH cleaner and a TON easier to maintain!!!

As I responded at the Charger forum, the car looks great either way.

I feel white letters are more a sportier look. Black walls more stock look. Which do you prefer?

I think it's your car, do what you like, that's the only opinion that matters.

As for me, if I have tires with white letters they go out, going in make you look like a dork. If I want black sidewalls, then I buy tires without white letters.
