It depends. When you choose a hat, do you go for the flattest brim possible? Do you often describe things as "lit?" Does most of your money come from your Youtube channel?

If you answered "yes" to the above questions, white letters on tires are for you.

For those who aren't in know, the term "Ricey" is rightly offensive.
Now you know...

White sidewall lettering was all the rage in the 1960s on muscle cars.

Lifted 4x4 pickup? OK... even though I went with blackwall BFG KO2's on my '17 Ram. 60's muscle car? Sure. Late model 911? Absolutely not.

I understand what you are saying and agree. What term would convey a similar meaning? Because we all know what it means. Juvenile maybe?

Given the small lettering your application almost works for me, almost. Still think the sidewall needs to be taller to support lettering.

For the love of all things sacred, please no!

Of course, it is your car.
