Anybody running KO2's with the white letters out?

[jeveretts]

I just ordered a new set of 275/65R18 KO2's for my new 22 Laramie 1500. Not sure if I want to go blackwall or white letters.
Have any of you done white letters and if so can you post a pic?

Don't believe you have a choice. KO2's don't have white lettering unless it's new. Last two sets I had where black walls on both sides.

You sure? I thought they all had them on one side. The ones I bought about 6 months ago had white letters on one side.

No KO2s but Firestone with White letters out. Got rid of these tires at 2000 miles because they were absolute crap in snow or mud, totally unusable due to lack of steering and traction. Replaced them with black sidewall Duratracs. White lettering on them was a 35 per tire option. You may want to check yours, I would not pay more just to get white lettering.

That's how my KO2s are. Black wall both sides. Also, they look best that way

With BFG’s it depends on the size, some have white letters and some don’t. My LT 305/65R18’s are black wall.

I'd run with white letters out if I had a choice. But my tire of choice only comes with both sidewalls black.

Do a search on here for "white letters" and you'll get enough opinions and pictures to keep you busy for awhile. It's basically a personal preference - but nowadays the consensus seems to be blackwalls out. It's close - maybe 70-30 or even 60-40.
Most of us who had our first cars in the 80's or earlier associate white letters out with that era. White letters look good on some very specific color schemes but my vote is blackwalls out.

Well. truck is at the tire shop getting the new tires installed. I just told the installer to "Suprise Me" because I couldn't' decide on white letters or black walls.

I'll post a pic later today when I get it back and see what they did!

Hopefully they'll all be black or all will be white letters out, and not a mixture LOL. That would certainly be a surprise.

HAHAHA...reminds me of when I had a pair of used tires mounted on my old utility trailer. I picked out a pair of white walls and the goof installed one side whitewall out and the other was black....good help is hard to find sometimes!!! I left it that way so it was something to laugh about...

They said that at the installer. It was funny, I was up in the air about which way to do it, and they had everybody including the office lady come out and cast their votes.

White letters it is. I think it give it an appropriate old man style.

You know it really ain't that hard to flip them to black if u get tired of the white letters. Looks okay on the silver truck. I really like white letters on Dark Blue trucks.

I like it and as an added bonus the tire shop employees got to have a little fun so win win.

I run white letters out because it's not popular right now.

 

[Vicman]

As an old guy, I approve! I love the look of BFG white letters...always have.

That was YEARS ago. I tried to find them for my 2012 back in the day and even now for '19. They have RWL in some limited sizes but no stock?? No idea why not. Even give us the option. Back in the 80's they always asked whites in or out lol

I had KO2's on my '99 Dakota which was "Intense Blue", and I liked the white letters out, but then as are so many others, I'm old and hold on to my old habits!

 

[Vicman]

Yeah, I had em on my 95 and 99 Dodge 4x4 and they looked great. Getting ready to re-shoe the 16 Power Wagon and am really leaning to get some again.
I almost went whites out with these STT PROs but my son talked me out of it.

Up here White Letters are a 35 buck a tire optional charge. If it the same down there or are they the same price as Black.
