Great choice!

My research suggests everyone over 40 prefers white letters out.

If you buy tires with white letters then they must be out.

White lettering IN on a Tundra.  Few vehicle can get away with white lettering.  Son's 2020 F150 Screw had the tire upgrade thru a package and it has 20s ATs with white lettering.  Looks ridiculous.  The Blizzacks on it now look so much better just with the black sidewall.

THIS. I did a lot of looking around, and it only really looks good on true off-roaders (which I'm not) or white trucks with black accents (not me).

But you're DEFINITELY over 40, so you should appreciate this classic style.

Your 75 yr old dad would want white walls...should be a constant stripe!!

My truck looks fine with the white letters out...it came that way...'tis not ugly.  But they're 18's not 20's.  The 20" wheels on a Ferd with white letters?  Gross.

Finally filled it up!

About $125 I think. Not bad for 25 days of driving.  :rofl2:

I used to spend ~$280 a month on fuel commuting, so that's not too bad in comparison.
