White writing... inside our out?

[Winnie]

Just dropped the Patrol off at the tyre shop for some new boots, and the bloke asked me if I wanted the white writing on the inside or out. Doesn't really bother me at all either way, I just told him to put it on the inside.

What is your opinion on this?

[scotty83]

Inside...... Sorry to those who like it out but it seems a bit, ummm how do I say this without upsetting people..... The only good reason to have the white out is to extend the tyre to the very last mil and should be swapped at the very last moment..

I don't get what ya mean Scotty?

Tap, crackle, pop

[scotty83]

White out seems a bit "Look at me, Look at me".

I have had an occasion where my tyre wore unevenly so i swapped the tyres on the rim to white out to use the tyre up fully.

[threedogs]

White writing out is SOOOO 1980s, its run its course, white writing in for me. Unless they pay for me to advertise, And to Scotty 83 how can you extend tyre life with the writing out??????unless I got that wrong

I guess if your alignment is out a bit and wearing on one side faster than another then swapping it would help there.

[threedogs]

OK thanks, can always tell if someones MOF has been driving as the white lettering appears as a white wall tyre, any MOF's on line excluded

X 2, you pay me to advertise your product and provide same at $0 I will happily display your white stuff. Given no tyre manufacturer has made this offer my WOL look at the diffs :)

So does that mean it's okay on a GQ, because they look tough as faaaaark?

[threedogs]

Walking a fine line there, would have thought the mighty big block 3ltr GU would take precedence there, GQ?????? Moving away from thread

I've heard that argument before.....well you should take the Nissan badges off, as with the patrol badges, any name brands on your recovery gear, bullbar, battery, roofracks, awning, tent........and I guess you only wear plain clothes with no brand names showing and ofcourse keep the tags tucked in! Colour in the logo on your shoes, rip the label off your beers! Lol not having a go, just food for thought. I like my Coopers and I don't mind showning people that I run em.:)
I have black rims, so a bit if white on the tyre makes it look better......if your concerned with looks?

x2 on this had mine put on the inside

[Winnie]

Went to pick up the car and white writing was on the outside. Not really a big deal, and to be fair I said "I dunno, inside I guess, whatever's easier for you." still looks good

[MEGOMONSTER]

My choice would be out.
I'm a poser anyway

[Warnie]

I would prefer inside, but my Kumho's don't have any white writing so not a problem for me.

[The BigFella]

In my earlier days I always wanted the WHITE LETTERS to the outside, these days I prefer them on the inside!
Must be a stage in life thing I guess,,,,,,,,

[alterastro]

My preference is outside as I still think it looks cool, but then I am an old fart :tongue:

The blue is just a coating to protect the white. It comes off with a bit of warm water.

[nomadTech87]

I have white lettering outside on mine. I don't give a rats about having the logo there (I don't even wear branded clothing), it's just that the white lettering on big AT tires with black sunraysia rims looks mean. In the end if it looks good to me, that's all that matters as my truck's there to keep me happy, not impress anyone else, IMO =D

[patch697]

I have the writing to the outside so everyone can see what a cheap Bastard I am.........hahahahahahahahahahahah

[Irish]

Outside for me, my Mav is white(sometimes) so it matches nicely.

[healy]

White on the inside less cleaning

[Winnie]

Haha that is easily the best reason posted yet!!

[threedogs]

Ever notice some 4x4s where they can't drive ,that the white writing turns into a white wall effect??

[happygu]

Too much kerb bumping......

I too am white writing on the outside if it is on the tyres. I think the white writing breaks up the black of the tyres, especially on a white car.

[pjwooly]

Do what YOU want and forget about what others think..thats my voice.
These are mine and i reckon they look great.

I guess if you got a brand your proud to wear ...show it...

If they were cheepies and your abit embarrased...hide em':clapping:

[mudski]

Outside for me. Yes I'm sooooo 80's, muscle car head, look at me , look at me!! I tell ya, I don't give a FECK! I love it. And yes I do love having bling on my car. Beats those little turds in their rice burners with the shopping list plastered up the front guard listening to shithouse doof doof crap!!!
I'm a WOG at heart.
Edit : An 80's wog too.

[TJsGQ]

Yeah I'm all for white to the outside..!!! I have a white patrol with black wheels n black bullbar white on the outside. Just goes with it.!!

[Franki]

At the end of the day the choice is up to you, I have mine out and to me it looks good. I don't care if it's a look at me whatever, why you looking in the first place then.

[2TROLLFAM]

White on the outside?? Ewwwwww but who am I to talk ... I have a big ass white longhorn sticker on my ute LOL

Me personally - white in the inside - not for any other reason other than it makes it less out there and some Johnny wanting to slash your tyres, let them down, or otherwise. You know - tall poppy syndrome and all!

[trekster]

If the tyres I get have white then it will be white out for me, White car, white writing is my preference :)

Yeh x2 gotta agree looks great with white car n black accessories..!

A bit of useless trivia. The new defence G Wagons have the white lettering in as part of their spec!

[TPC]

Mine have white on the outside, asked Bob Janes to have black on outside when they fitted them but they forgot.

No i have BFG AT's, had muddies on when i got the car but found them too noisy on the bitumen where it spends most of its time.

[Clunk]

When I bought my tyres my mates said put white writing on inside. So I did. I turned em inside out and fitted them. Looks awesome but tyres not as good in the mud as I expected.

What ya get?

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

[Clunk]

Doesn't matter does it? They're all the same inside out! When they said writing inside I took em literally!

Duh..... Now I get it!!!!!


I'll shut up now

White writing looks ok on white cars but the rest i reckon it looks crap

[04OFF]

I like the idea of the flipping tyres on rims to increase tyre life, so Id put white on the outside first, then by the time the writing looks marked and dirty, you will be flipping them around anyway :bigthumbup:


Why is there not more pics in this thread ???

The tyres finally came in today. So going after work to fit out.
Doing some research about which way to go and found this thread.
Then found my old post saying writing out.
Then added the next bit.
You know there's a world of info on this site. All you have to do is look.

[04OFF]

White out :smiley_thumbs_up:

White went on the outside for me - split second decision at the tyre joint - quite like it - I must be an old attention seeking dag with an '80's outlook. :)

I went with white writing on the outside.
Cos I'm a tosser.

It's white writing on the outside if you have great tyres and on the inside if they're not so great!
LOL

+1 for white on the outside , easier to read for old farts like me haha

Could we start a poll on this ?
