No preference. Mine are on the outside. If they put them on the inside I'd be just as happy.

White lettering on the outside is how I'd have my tyres fitted if I owned a Jeep

I once had a puncture repaired and the tyre place refitted the tyre with the writing on the outside. Shocked It took months of therapy to get over it. Even now, several years on it makes me break out in a cold sweat just to think of it.

My first Defender had its bfg white lettering on the outside when I upgraded the wheels/tyres, I thought it looked good at the time, that was about 10 years ago, these days I really wouldn't, or maybe I have got old.... Whistle Laughing

Personal choice though Thumbs Up

You wouldn't wear your shoes on the opposite feet would you.
So you wouldn't have your tyres on inside out. Not many tyres have white lettering, be proud of it. Mr. Green

Although I will concede I recon that this poll will be about 70% in side though.. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ā›½ļøšŸ›¢ļøšŸ‘Øā€šŸ”§šŸ§°āš™ļø RED, WHITE & BOOST! šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

Who cares what anyone else thinks, just choose whatever you like best.

That said lettering inside obviously looks much better.

If they give them to you or pay for you to advertise their product, why give them free promotion?
