Default New tires just came in!

Got my cooper tires delivered today! It's like Christmas in February! Now the question is do I put the white lettering in or out? Anyone have experience with these tires and how long the lettering lasts?

Jeep is stone white with all black accents.

Lift should be in tomorrow!

Those are some good looking tires!! My set is sitting in the garage as well, and I'm getting antsy... my JKR is yellow and my new wheels are black, so I went with black letters out. I like white letters out but I do not like how far spaced cooper does their lettering, almost like 3 separate words. BFG has the lettering down and they look great with white out, just not coopers. Imho of course.

The lettering lasts longer if you avoid scrubbing rocks and curbs. My lettering was fine after 2 years and still looked good. I'd go white letters out again......wish my bfg's had that option.

IMO since you have all black accents, I think the all black tire looks the best. My

I have had the cooper sts for over a year with whites out and they still look pretty fresh. I like the whites out. Against the status quo.

My buddy that works at Morris 4x4 Center has the Cooper SST Pros on his JK ( 35's on 18's). And I think the white wall out just gives it a performance look. Any logos on a vehicle always reminds me of racing and I love that look.
