my2c: Depends which wheel you're running . Fancy wheel black, simple clean wheel white.

I think white letters out are age appropriate for our trucks.

I think it depends on the way the truck looks. Stock look and stock wheels with white letters sure. Black wall looks fine too.
Lowered with aftermarket wheels I would say black wall.
When I bought my truck it had 2 new white letter tires recently installed so I just bought 2 new ones to match. I did blast and repaint the wheels. Detailed the center caps and installed new lug nuts.

IMPO regardless of other considerations, if the lettering is Goodyear,BFG or Firestone(although Firestone are never to be used) out is acceptable but all others cheapen the look.

Just put 4 Cooper Cobras on my 1985 Silverado white letters in. (I guess it’s because I Remember putting G60’s on the back of my 72 Nova with air shocks and the shocks lost air and screwd up my white new letters) what ever you like
