Sorry guys but I think I'm in the majority. Not only did "Whites In" come out ahead on this forum, but I posted the same question on another forum and got the same result....I knew I had good taste!

I have the white lettering IN on all of my trucks and have for some time now.
Way back when I had my 70 Mach-1 with a early BOSS351 I would run the lettering OUT but that was when it was cool to show them off, back when TA radials were used on the Greenwood Corvettes and were rated for 200 MPH and back when tire companies did sponsor you even if you were a small time person.
I had a friend who owned Bill Morse Speed Shop here in So-Cal. and I got most of my parts for my car, cams, carburetors manifolds either for free or at his cost just for having his name on the car.
Something new would come out and we would try it on my car.
I used to run either BF Goodrich TA Radials, Pirelli’s, Goodyear Blue Streak’s or Wingfoot.

Every Friday I would wash the car then touch up the lettering with tire paint or a tire crayon before going out to cruise.
They also had stick on lettering so you could put on anything you wanted.
There is actually still this same product on the market.
I can now see our trucks with CUMMINS tires on them.

Some cars and trucks look good with the raised lettering and some don't same with the whitewalls, some early 50's and 60's cars look good with them.
I have seen trucks like ours with white sidewalls and stickers of big ugly cows or bulls on the doors and 3 million lights and mud flaps.
I am still trying to figure them out.
