Tire Sidewall Poll: Raised White Letters or Blackwall?
 
I currently have Uniroyal Liberator A/T that came on my truck and look brand new. They have the white letters on the inside and I was thinking about flipping them since Ihave thelook on my Ford Explorer and I like it. Can you guys help me with your opinions for my Chevy?

I like both types. Raised white letters can look good if you want the tire writing to show. Blackwall looks clean and simple.

If you like how the white letters look on your Explorer, you can try them on your Chevy. It comes down to what you like.

Depends on the vibe of your truck: classic/retro builds look great with raised white letters, while newer or more stealthy setups usually suit blackwalls. RWLs take more upkeep—road grime and salt will yellow them and scuffs show, so be ready to scrub them to keep them crisp. Blackwalls hide rash and dirt better and give a cleaner, beefier look. Wheel color matters too—RWLs pop against black wheels, but on polished/chrome, blackwalls can keep things from looking too busy. If the tire is non-directional and has letters on one side only, you can mount letters-in now and flip them out later if you change your mind. I do this with my truck that I bought at online auction.
