I have just ordered six 33 inch Cooper ST Maxx tyres for my beaten-up 200 series, which has two wheel carriers on the back. Now here's the question:
Do I have them fitted with the white letters on the outside, which I have a secret yearning to do - or will that label me as a dickhead?
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

Of course
You will then look like a d!ckhead as you should have bought BFGs :)
-
:D
That is gold!!!
-
:D
Bahahahahahahahaha

White letter outside.
I vote looks better.

Hey Keith, I just happened to have that pic on my phone and just matched your thread heading. It was just tongue in cheek! Well it just happened to work for your post :) :)

I love your work. :cup:
I had the same problem when I last got tyres.
Lets just say..................White on the inside.

Hey Bullant, no offense taken. Had a good laugh. I haven't even got the bloody tyres on yet and I'm beginning to feel a bit of dickhead for asking the question. But I am enjoying the answers.

Fancy asking this mob that question.....!!!!!!!!! >:D
-
outside, Why not. If you don't like it you can always swap them back around. ;D

Cool, you know they are all sensitive princesses on here :D
Did I say that out loud? ???
-
White out with pride... Anything like mine they will be brown soon after anyway!
-
Not at all mate most have them out :cheers:
-
C'mon, get em out, be loud and proud, you know you want to....
-
You want to otherwise you wouldn't of asked,
-
You want to otherwise you wouldn't of asked,
Exactly. You want your writing on the outside, others own a Toyota or jeep. Same same really, but if you own a camper we will still talk to you. ;D ;D
-
If you can't decide then Left hand side white out, Right hand side white in, simple , then when the tyres get rotated you could swap sides for a change
-

The man has lost his marbles,
Me thinks he needs to attend a Myswag meet ;D

White on the outside! Go with it, you know you want to!
-
White on the outside It's only the other way round when your embarrassed about your choise
-
I think we've spoken about this before.
If you do more left hand corners than right hand ones you need the white outside on the right side - and obviously opposite for the opposite situation. If you do more straight line travel of course you need to put white outside on the fronts - unless you do more straight in reverse - then it's opposite.
Of course!
This way everyone will know which type of DH you are - unless all the white is on the inside!
Of course!
-
Okay,
So we have 9 votes for the white writing on the outside, 1 for the inside, 6 people who think I'm a dickhead for asking the question and two other blokes who agree with them.
So it looks like a hung jury. So I think I might go with the outside and see how it feels. If I like it I might start driving at night with my sunglasses on.
And yes I do have a camper, retired two weeks ago and would love to come to the next Myswag meet.
You'll spot me straight away - arriving after dark with crisp white letters on the outside of the tyres and sunglasses on.
Keith
-
Just make sure the tyre blokes wash the blue stuff off then!
-
OMG......the writing must go to the inside,I can't believe it's even a question. :police:

Mine are on the outside

Same car same tyres. I got the ones with no white writing either side. ;D
-
200 Tojo means mandatory outside for 4WD Action photos for the EYE MAP NESS envy! ;D
I was asked the question by my supplier & opted for inside as, I think on my 'cruiser, it would have looked a bit "Dickie" with the white outside.

I like the writing on the outside, but seriously your missus will just scrub the gutters so much that you soon won't have any letters left.
-
I say outside and while you are at it colour the white writing in with Fluoro paint
Swannie

25 years ago the white lettering went on the outside. 8)
Today, especially if you have black rims, the lettering "should" go on the inside. :police:
Post up a pic of your rig and start a poll. ;D

Yes the effort was made and whilst it was pouring rain! ;D
-
The question must be asked - why do you care if other people that you don't even know think you are dickhead??
If people think you are a dickhead for having white writing on the outside of your tyres, they are the dickhead themselves!
Of course, your friends wouldn't give a toss either way as they won't judge you for what way the writing faces on your tyres.
-
Outside for sure....look the old blokes will probably go for outside and the young fella's inside.......your indecision tells me you must be must be middle aged...... ;D cheers :cheers:
-
inny or an outy eh
who gives a toss what others really think........its your rig
personally I recon white lettering facing out is gay (too much bling).....inside for me
-
for my beaten-up 200 series
Strike one.......
which has two wheel carriers on the back.
Strike two.......
with the white letters on the outside,
Strike three........
LOL Just kidding, your car do what you like ;)

Some of them should be... ;D

I'm not gay but my boyfriend is. White out for me. :police:
-
. Put the lettering out. BF Goodrich :cup:
I remember about 27 years ago when I had my XB Fairmont 2 door Coupe, I had saved my $$ for months ($600 in 1987) for my BFGoodrich TA's. i remember it like yesterday, the tyre guy asked me the same question " do you want the white lettering facing out." I just looked at him and he said "stupid question, of course you want the white lettering out" ;D
I wish I had never sold that car :-[
-
Back to the tally room,
- We have 17 votes for letters on the outside
- 5 votes for the inside
- 7 who think I'm a dickhead for asking the question
- and two who agree with them
- Plus four who couldn't care less
So, if we split the undecided vote we get 19 for the outside and 16 for the rest. As they say on election night: "it's a tough call this one and could down to the wire".
Anyhow, the white letters are going on the outside, but I'm dropping the sunglasses idea.

Life is more fun when you no longer give a rats arse about what anyone else thinks

White on the outside for a white truck, black for black, white outside and get out your textas for any other colour
-

That's cause lm exceptional :angel: :cheers:
-
How about onside white writing on the outside and the other on the inside?
Then you can sit back and watch then scratching their heads as they walk from one side to the other trying to work out if they are seeing things.

Good decision but I think you should still do the sunnies at night ;D
-
So worried about the white lettering on the outside --
Now if you really want it to look silly >:D -- consider changing your rim size and go for low profile tyres

You can't go wrong.

Are they tyres or have you driven on to a hot spray of bitumen on cold rims ???

Unless you want to use the drive through at Macca's
Damn those speed humps ???
Then you'll have to put a lift in. 8)

put the white letters on the outside. The crowd will appreciate when you're towing a float at the next mar-di-gras ;D
-
Lol, great thread :cheers: to the op.
Reminds me of of something thing the old man says, (in a massive wog voice)"Say whatever you like to me but say it with a smile on your face".
Great Forum and unsurprisingly no actual dickheads yet. :cheers:

Geez, them's fightin' words Clem.
I put the white lettering outside on mah MTZ's out of polite consideration so as when I recover stuck Yota's, they can say they waz rescued by the might of my Mickey T's rather than by my Datsun
Saves them the embarrassment ;D ;D ;D

ouch. Big statement coming from a prado driver. Be careful one of those nissan guys might come and put a speed hump at the end of your driveway. That'll stuff you ;D ;D ;D

Did this Datsun have the white lettering on the out side of the tYres when it came across this stick ????
-
OMG......the writing must go to the inside,I can't believe it's even a question. :police:
Agree - on the inside. In my very early 20's I must confess I had the white lettering on the outside, but I am older now.

Definitely a white writing on the INSIDE sort of bloke ;)
-
It really depends on how much, or how little, you like bling.
Personally, I have never liked it, but I also realised a long time ago that lots of people love it.
Who am I to dictate their choices? Any more than I would want them to dictate mine ...
You do what you want to do, mate ;D . If what you want to do doesn't hurt anyone else, bugger what the rest of the world thinks.

hence the reason why why all noticed the dickhead in the datsun not the white lettering ;D ;D ;D
all tongue in cheek people just having a bit of fun :D

Is that so the Zook drivers can see the lettering as you run over them? :cheers:
-
Why buy them with white lettering and hide it. Writing on the outside.
-
^^^ Why hide the black letters on the inside?
-
Because I'm not looking to be a show off and I don't get paid or a discount for the advertising
'shakey'
-
Why buy them with white lettering and hide it
cause ya cant buy em without it.

I'd be more worried about the 200 series, let alone white writing on tyres :)

White out on the back only, go the drag racer look :cup:
