White writing... inside our out?
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?

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..

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.

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