I am going to get my BFG's 32x11.50x15 put on tomorrow. They are going on 15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic II's. I wanted to get some opinions of what would look better on my truck. Should I get WHITE letters or BLACK letters?

That's personal preference. You're going to get both answers on here. I'll be the first to say don't put the white out. My preference. :)

I think I am leaning more towards black but I have always had white on both of my explorers. Then again I never had a lifted explorer until now!

i'll say white, they attract attention to the tire it self. nice tire needs the attention

Well I went to Discount Tire today and had them put them on. I got the BFG's 32x11.50x15 with the WHITE lettering showing. I must say they look awesome. While they were balancing the tires they let me trim the front bumper and the running board flares. I was amazed they let me do this. I think I got a decent price on them. I payed $520 out the door. Thanks for all the opinions! I'll post pics as soon as the weather clears up.

go black out.... the white looks good for about a week, once the tires get dirty, the white will never look white again and will look nasty....

Agreed, it also gives you a sore shoulder trying to scrub the letters clean.

Black out looks much better. If you go off road the white letters get scuffed but regardless the black looks better.

Look at performance/luxury cars. Do you see any white? That should tell you something ;)

Depends on the vehicle i would have to say. I would get the white facing out since most of them would have the white facing in, so when you turn its even worse then having it on the outside since you can see the label then.

Looks good. :thumbsup: Scrub 'em with Westley's Bleach-White and top that with Armor All.

Yep, that's what I use and the white letters still look brand new, even after all the mud that has sat on them for days at a time. I agree, the 32s fit perfectly :thumbsup:
