Author Message   Zinhead Posted on Monday, April 22, 2002 - 10:41 pm:    Me, I prefer raised white letters, but the vast majority of Rover owners seem to want black sidewalls on thier vehicles. Is this related to the skinny tire Rover mystique? Post your preference.   Craig Posted on Monday, April 22, 2002 - 11:19 pm:    BLACK!   KJ Posted on Monday, April 22, 2002 - 11:26 pm:    Definitely black. Karen   niall forbes (Forbesn) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 12:06 am:    Definitely go with black wall out. White letters look gross.   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 01:25 am:    Black!   Blake Luse (Muddyrover) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 01:34 am:    black white out looks like some nascar mullet redneck chevy owner and we're sophisticated rover owners   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 06:24 am:    Nobody, I mean nobody likes a mullet. Save those fancy ass white raised letters for the official mullet car: a purple '86 IROC!   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 06:28 am:    Fear this white raised letter guy!!   Zinhead Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:50 am:    But the Jeep guys all say raised white letters give better traction. L   gp (Garrett) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 08:21 am:    yes zinhead you are correct 100%!!! did someone say mullet? well i just have to say you all can kiss my ass!! haha. i mean i just love my white outlined letters out. A)it gets me some respect around here in central PA B)i can proudly display my tire company COOPER!! C)makes the truck 'look' fast D)i look a little more bad ass E)and who doesn't like NASCAR? LOL. i know i know.....i just had to be a little different that is all. and i really don't think my truck looks bad at all. well.....it does look 'bad'.....the good bad.   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 08:48 am:    ROTFLMAO!!!   KJ Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 09:33 am:    OMG.....we saw the MOST heinous mullet Sunday. It was bad enough I HAD to POINT! It was one of those twisted sorta spiky mullets, you know the one? Almost ruined a lovely meal. Karen, didn't need to know they had a name.....   Greg Davis Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 09:50 am:    Black. That way they don't getted ripped and torn on the rocks. Plus you don't have to worry about keeping them clean. Oh, black sidewalls also make your tire look taller. Doesn't break up the sidewall visually like the white letters do!   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 10:20 am:    i put black wall out then stencile in custom messages using white out. like, Molly Hatchet in an arc shape on the top and Uriah Heep on the bottom -rd i'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and i'm all out of bubble gum.   gp (Garrett) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 10:50 am:    damn rob. funny you mention that kick ass Roddy Piper quote. i posted that while you were in Moab. even his damn site. leslie was all over it.   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 12:18 pm:    i dont' know... i always thought white letters inside was better. but then, when you are able to see the white lettering inside, it's even more ridiculous. it's like trying to hide the ugliness. just be who you are.   Blue (Bluegill) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 12:50 pm:    Greg hit it - my super white power letters are torn to shit from the rocks. They're also a permanent shade of desert brown. Of course, if your brand of tire has white on one side & black on the other, then you'll eventually have to have the white facing out if you want the most life out of your tires (spin them on the rim, as I always do). Chewing the black-side (outer) lugs to shit while preserving the white-side (inner) lugs just because you're concerned about fashion is silly. I guess that all this happens when you actually use the tires, so maybe some of you will be okay...LOL P.S. Garrett, we believe in you P.P.S. Kiss my ass�   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 12:51 pm:    yeah,,, the movie was on USA or TNN while i was in moab... hehe. i was hanging in a hotel getting my weekly shower when i saw the quote on tv. ;) rd   gp (Garrett) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 01:37 pm:    see most of you boys and girls have alloys. now with the black NATO's the white letters take on a whole new life. i believe in myself too. and i am pretty confident that my decision was the right one!! ps: i bet that 'guy' on the show 'The Bachelor' doesn't have white letters out.   Andy Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 01:55 pm:    I think if your buying a tire for RWL your probably more worried about what your truck looks like in the mall than how the tire performs off road. But the tire you may want, may only come in RWL so you may have no choice. I agree with Ho, they look even more stupid on the inside. As for being a redneck, I think anyone who intentionally buys a vehicle, modifies it, and truly goes off road with it, has a bit of redneck in their blood. It takes a little redneck to take a rangie, disco, g-wagon, etc. off roand and scratch it up . I am a proud redneck, sorry no mullet. Andy 95 D1   KJ Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:01 pm:    "gp, thank God there's only one..." Love you, Garrett! ;) Karen   gp (Garrett) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:19 pm:    yeah i certainly have a little redneck in me. hell i wore a Peterbuilt hat til i was 12. i grew up in Missouri and we had a farm near the Ozarks. i mean HELLO.....that just screams redneck. and my dream was to have my mother as a truck driver. i use to wish to god that she would pull up in a big mofo Peterbuilt after school. never pushed a couch off the side of the road though. thanks karen...my self esteem is getting back to normal now.   Andy Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:26 pm:    I am glad I'm not alone here on DWeb. Thanks Andy   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:31 pm:    Cheers to Andy! By the way, my hair is cut very short. The Marine in me will not allow a mullet! HA!   Sean H Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:36 pm:    The General Lee=White Landrover=Black   Finnigus Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:48 pm:    back to the poll. WHITE   samuel Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:49 pm:    yes, white!   adam Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:49 pm:    white   Mindy Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:50 pm:    WHITE   Anonymous Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 02:54 pm:    this discussion is pointless. but if i had to vote, it would be for white letter facing outwards.   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 03:10 pm:    ahh, i know, just get the futuras. they dont' got white letters... do they? LOL   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 03:15 pm:    oh no, even better, Dunlop RTs. they are all black i think.   Blue (Bluegill) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 05:28 pm:    how about those new tires with strips of colored tread? Yellow for the Chickadee... They probably only come in road tread, but that would be perfect for your taxicab   Diesel Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 05:39 pm:    Black! Dunlop R/Ts are all black.   E Snyder Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 06:04 pm:    Mix and match, so you can REALLY prove that you don't care.   Jo Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:01 pm:    white   mama Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:01 pm:    i say white too   Algore Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:02 pm:    white all the way   big disco fan Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:03 pm:    who are the cool guys who have the cajones to run white letters out?   Andy Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:38 pm:    Mine are out and proud to be there. lol That said, when I bought my disco the white was out. So I was forced to come out facing the world with my whiteness. I guess that's why no other disco owners ever wave at me in Utah. LOL Andy 95 D1 red with RWL   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:47 pm:    here is mine when i was doing the custom lettering   Blue (Bluegill) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:54 pm:    you're older than I thought. and you spelled "stripper" wrong   Andy Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:55 pm:    Hey, if you make any more of those let me know, I want a set.   Blue (Bluegill) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 08:40 pm:    you're all missing the best thing in tire options: whitewalls (as seen on a jeep grand cherokee near you)   Matt Milbrandt (95discovery) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 09:20 pm:    I want a set of those custom tires too, but can I get Lynyrd Skynyrd on the side?? Matt   niall forbes (Forbesn) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 10:50 pm:    Man, forget the white letters. Those are old news. This is what you want for pimping at the mall. http://www.canadiantire.ca/assortments/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=441451&FOLDER%3C%3EbrowsePath=168423&FOLDER%3C%3EbrowsePath=697567&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=697567&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=166971&bmUID=1019616268292 Eww, sorry about that link.   niall forbes (Forbesn) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 10:51 pm:    And judging by the conversations on this board, I'm sure most of you'll want the rainbow stuff ;-)   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 11:41 pm:    blue, thanks for noticing i have a rare disease that causses me to look twice my age and work in a tire factory. besides, i know this is an obvious bait to make me remind you about stryper the christian rock 1980's metal band http://www.stryper.com/index.shtml rd p.s. that tire shit was on clearance at pep boys, i was very tempted.   Curtis Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:01 am:    LOL! Talk about meaningless drivel! I prefer black, but don't really care what others run. Andy, where in Utah are you? If I see you in SLC I'll make sure to wave. White letters and all. It is good to see you are comfortable in your whiteness in Utah. That is all I ever see here. Oh - hold on - we are talking tires. Scratch that. Curtis   KJ Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:42 pm:    Curtis, Surely you've seen far more impressive meaningless drivel than this thread! This is positively Graduate level meaningless drivel compared to how we've hacked some threads on DiscoWeb. We really need to try a bit harder here..... Karen   Curtis Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:26 pm:    Karen, I agree 100%, but this is some of the most meaningless graduate level drivel I have stumbled accross in a while. I think it may be working on its doctoral thesis at this point so I am not sure how much more meaningless we can make it Curtis   KJ Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 10:54 pm:    Curtis, Back in the Dark Ages of the Internet, when all there was were bulletin boards run on fido/locally I used to read one from Cananda called something like "Absolute Nonsense". It was moderated, and if anyone typed a coherent thought, they were scolded, LOL! It was some of the funniest stuff I've ever read on the internet....except maybe the J**P vs. LR/ Xterra vs. LR threads here (G). Karen   Lester Burnham Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 11:40 pm:    Andy, I get your point, I just justify it away by saying to myself that I am not "off roading" I am going on a "Safari". Even though I am in Cali and rarely see a live animal other than lizards, it makes me feel better about myself!   Hank (Disco_Tex) Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:27 am:    Black   Blue (Bluegill) Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 11:18 am:    So how many of you "graduate level" threaders have actually studied white sidewalls on your own Disco before proclaiming "black is best"? Hmmm? -Blue Ph.D. Tireology The P.Ford School of Nonsense   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 11:28 am:    blue, all i know is that tire gods dont' care which side is out, rocks will eat them all the same.   M. K. Watson (Lrover94) Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:12 pm:    GANGSTERS! mike w   Andy Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 02:15 pm:    Curtis, I live in the Avenues of Slc. I drive a red d1 with an arb, conn-fer rack, and an oem lift. I wave at all discos, ranges, d90's and never get a wave back. I do it now like experiment to see if I can get a wave. If you see me wave, I can tell my j##p friends that disco owners are friendly. LOL Lester I forgot, when on "safari" or "expeditions" you should have white walls... LOL Andy   ravensjk Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:50 pm:    don't really care, but prefer black. On a side note, I recently saw the Trek 2000 and then found this picture online. Check out the white on the inside of the Trek truck at http://www.gotmud.org/trek/trek00_28.jpg   Ron Posted on Friday, April 26, 2002 - 02:45 am:    If it does not say swamper on it, its an AT Radial swampers are not real swampers None of the tires I have even came with white letters. No one wants to advertise made in venezula or Super All Grip the way they do BFG. Ron   Andy Posted on Friday, April 26, 2002 - 11:53 am:    it's a bfg thing, you wouldn't understand. lol   Erik Olson (Jon) Posted on Friday, April 26, 2002 - 08:55 pm:    Nothing says Exploder more than some carved-up, curb-feeling dirty-ass Firestone raised-white letters on the side of a tire. White ain't right. "When you go to Vegas, always bet on black." -Wesley Snipes and that fellow from Survivor: Marquesas. e   SteveCz Posted on Tuesday, April 30, 2002 - 11:18 am:    Black sidewalls out. And if you have the white in, don't wash off that blue stuff. Steve
