I always go Black Wall out. I hate the way the white letters break up the center of the tire. Hard to explain but it makes sense in my mind

Plus as you drive down the road it looks like a dirty white wall. Black wall for me also.

I like it either way but some tire brands & designs do look better one way or the other. For example, I have a dedicated winter tire set in black (295/70r17 Toyo M/Ts) and they only come black, but even if they had RWL they wouldn't look good with the sidewall tread extending onto the sidewall face. My summer tires are BFG A/T and I do like them with white letters out... JMO.

Black wall for me but to each his own. I have a dually so I always have to mount and dismount several tires to match up when rotated.

Blackwall! Mine's a truck, not a showcar. However, I make the note that performance is not affected by which side is out.

If its white letters, go blackwalls. Now if you had those really wide whitewalls from the 50's....
