For these trucks? I'd say white out unless the tires have a really stupid name.
If they were called like "Handcock Pegasus" tires or something, I'd probably black those out.

For the size you are going with I do out. If it's 4X4 it kind of depends on the tire. If its a bigger say 18 inch wheel if there's an option i do in. JMO.

I typically like the white lettering out- but when I bought my BFG KM3's there was no white lettering option.... oddly enough I just got an email from them that shows they now have "tire stickers"...

Basically thin colored rubber letters you superglue onto the tires.

Looks like it would take a lot of time to prep then glue all 4 tires. I'll pass.

Oooohhhhh, color.

I'm thinking one curb and they'll be flapping in the breeze.

Sounds like they found a way to wring even more money out of their customers. Why give you letters on your tires for free when you might be willing to pay extra for them?

Yeah- no kidding. Looked at how much they were... $159.99 (for the 4 tires)

Uh... no.
