put them black out

at first, the white looks killer... but if you wheel, the white will discolor, and later, you will wish you mounted them black out... i do.... but i also dont really care about the way my truck looks either... :)

I'm all for the Black Side Out.

I think there was a poll on the exact same subject?

alphabets13, I like them. Mine give a little harsher but firmer ride than the other tires I had (Firestone Wilderness A/T and Kelly Safari AWR). The ride is smooth on the highway but you feel the bumps a little bit more. Other people that have these tires say that they don't feel any different to them than the stock tires. I know that I need knew shocks so this may be my problem.

They do make 2 different load ratings of Scorpions AT's, 2-ply and 6-ply. I went with the 6-ply for its' increased load wieght, side-wall strength, and handling. I would think that the 2-ply would be a smoother ride than the 6-ply.

black side out on EVERYTHING. i have never liked the look of white letters, on a streeter or an offroader.

yeah definitely 2 ply would be smoother. it won't last longer though. thanks for the input.
