The only white lettering that looks good is the "futura super sports"on a super sport!!! And of corse white walls mandatory on 13" d'sIf you were going with a white color scheme like in your avatar,then I'd go with the lettering showing but with the color you are going with the cruck would look MUCH better with the lettering insideGlad I don't have to worry about this as 255-35-22's don't have letteringEither our IT'S YOUR CRUCK!!! Therefore whatever tickles your fancy.

Whats the point in having white letter tires if the letters face in? I wish I could afford a set of reproductions of the orginal Firestone & Goodyear 14 inch wide ovals for my 72. Maybe Im showing my age but I just dont get it.
