owl or bw?

RangerDork · May 17, 2010

putting on new tires tomorrow. owl or blackwall out? im leaning toward bw. opinions?

superds · May 17, 2010

I would vote BW. IMO it looks cleaner. Let the tire manufacturers do their advertising on TV and in magazines, not on your pickup.

OWL all the way. Its nice to have something to break up all the black

id take RWL over OWL, but definitely OWL over BW. they just look so much better, less plain.

rangergt89 · May 17, 2010

I say OWL, but if you take the truck off road a lot owl it could get scuff & not look that good.

kcm1582 · May 18, 2010

BW looks way better.

It depends on the truck.

My Ranger looked as dorky with BL as my F-150 would look with WOL.

Sooo I run WOL on my Ranger and BW on the F-150. :icon_thumby:

Same goes for solid white letters, they look really sharp in the right place too but can look gaudy if not used right (to me anyway)

BW is cleaner. White letters are for 80's Camaros. I was mad when My Toyo's got mounted white letters out.

Everybody has their own opinion, I wouldn't change a thing on my two rigs.

I sell tires, and 90% of the tires I sell on 4x4 trucks are OWL. The OWL looks great imo, if you keep them clean. If you're one of the ones that washes your truck once a decade, go with BW out

4x4junkie · May 18, 2010

Eh... I almost never wash mine and I put the letters out. They aren't that noticeable anymore :icon_twisted:

me too. i wash my truck fairly regularly, but im not one of those that spray the stuff on the tire to make it shine. thats why i went bw. looks badass. guess this thread is done. thanks for the input

I prefer the White walls out... but only on certain vehicles... Like My rangers I think look really good this them.
It also depends on personal preference, what kinda tire they are (as in brand name tire), Rims they are on, and if your going to clean them...

Like I mount my Mickeys OWL and they look good with the black steel d holes.

I like mine out so people can see the brand I love!!!!!

Madracingalley · May 20, 2010

I Love the lettering from my old liberators, because they broke up the plain blackness of my truck, but my new 31" Milestars are blackwall on both sides

, and there discoloring...... Cheap Chinese Tires....
