Just put a set on my 2011 Rubi Unlimited and I went with white lettering on the inside. I don't like to have to scrub them everytime I am offroad, so the lazy side of me took over.

Black out regardless of tire, color or use. Just looks right on a Jeep!

Raised solid white letters out anything else black out. I personally think the BFG's with the solid white letters out look good. I guess it depends what era you grew up in. When they started going with the low profile tires the white letters went out of style. I still think white letters look good if you have beefy tires. JMO

Unless you are embarrassed about what tires you have go with the white. Complaining about scuffed white tires is like complaining about scuffs and scratches on your jeep. It's a jeep!!! If you want something clean, shinny, and able to navigate through the rough roads of the malls parking lot buy a hummer.

I wish we could just move pass the race thing. Black/white, it's all right.

My vote would be for white/Sahara to have white out, dark/non-Sahara to have black out.
