Default Duratrac white lettering?

Does the Duratrac only come with outlined white lettering on the sidewall? No full blackwalls?

Everything I see has the white lettering...

TIA

Also depends on the size. Some sizes are OWL and some BSL.

Mine came in white lettering so I had them put the white lettering facing in. 285/70/17 is the size I got.

That is the exact answer I was looking for, thanks! I didn't know if they had white lettering on both sides. That is the size I am going after as well, how do you like them? I have an auto with 3.73, curious to hear how much drive-abilty changed when you got them.

No clue what my gears are but I have the 07 Sahara 6 speed manual tranny. I would have to say I barely noticed much difference, mainly because of the manual tranny...starting off going uphill might have to give it a few more RPM before I switch gears but thats about it.

I actually love them! They don't have much sound on the road and the look is just plain awesome! Haven't had the chance to try them in any weather yet... since once I got them on it turned to frikkin spring time!

Here is my poser shot. No lift, just those tires on a 17x8 BlackRock Viper rim.
