Default White Lettered Tires

I have 265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on Sequoia wheels. I'm thinking of coloring the letters white using the Sharpie oil based pen. Already bought the pens from Amazon, but now I'm' having doubts if that will ruin the clean look.

Recently I've been hanging around on MUD a lot and getting inspired with what people have done to their trucks. I thought doing a cheap mod like having white letters on tires might make it look more sporty or off road build lol.

What is your opinion? Anyone here dig the white letters on their GX tires? I have a white GX.

I have put BFG All Terrains on three different vehicles, always mounted whites out. I really like the look, but I know some people hate it. I like the white block letters, not so much the white outline letters.

I just recently purchased my GX (and joined this forum) so I have yet to change its tires.

I'm a white letter hater. I can't stand the look of them being out for some reason. Your call though, it's your truck, and you have to do whatever you want to make it your own. If you like it I say go for it.

I have the whites out on my Generals. I've always loved the white letter out look on most 4x4s, and classic cars.

I think the white letters only work if you have a really aggressive tread pattern, and don't gloss the sidewalls. Like in Micah360's photo
