Hello All

So to be up front I am not a huge OWL tire fan overall with exception to all black wheels. I feel that the wheel almost gets lost a bit if it’s straight black with no trim etc. around the wheel. My questions is what is everyone’s feeling on OWL?

Might have voted if you had bothered to spell out OWL and saved me the effort to look it up.

OWL definitely helps the wheels pop out. I will be doing the same with my CO whenever it arrives.

too much work. They end up grey or scuffed and look like crap. Turn them inside. Be stress-free. Plus advertising your tire choice looks kinda stupid in my estimation

BTW the OP has RWL not OWL

When ever I see them turned inside I think someone made a mistake mounting them!

I think it really depends on the wheels… my choice would be black if the wheels are shiney bright/polished or chrome but I would prefer white lettering on the steelies or machined finish like mine I would prefer white lettering as I have the optional wheels came with the falkens. They don’t offer as many choices in white solid/raised or outlined lettering tires like they used (old school coming back again)

Thad, Looks good with the rims and cyber orange, ( My wife's choice ) looks yellow to me. I do like the color and even like the orange bits in the interior that a lot of people do not like.
So being an old bastard we loved white letters in the old days on our fats and skinny's

If you have a car show trailer queen vehicle, OWL works nicely! If you actually use it for multi purposes, it's hard to see them anyways!
Ford Maverick To letter or not to letter the tires : ) rs best

I always prefer white lettering out! It makes you want to clean it, otherwise I just leave everything dirty.

However I will say this poll left out white walls and mustard and mayonnaise tires. You gotta remember this is bringing back mini trucks!

It's all about personal taste. Not what anyone else may think.
