White lettered tires...inside or outside?

Hello,

I'm getting four new tires on the GT today or tomorrow. Do GT owners have a preference on having the White letters on the outside or inside? Thanks for your input!

I like to have to white letters facing out also. It is a period correct thing to do.

Inside. Looks cleaner.

Always liked them out, at least with aftermarket wheels. Stock wheels, not so much. Hard to even find raised white letter tires, at least for the size I use.

Inside. RWL tires look tacky to me, especially when they're cheap, knock-off brand tires. I do like RWL on classic American muscle cars if they're correct replicas the Goodyear Polyglas or Firestone tires that came on the car when new.

It's like buying a house....buy the ugliest one on the block. When you are home you get to look out at the nice houses...they get to look at your ugly one!

I don’t recall seeing a factory GT advertisement with RWL or whitewalls. Maybe a thin red stripe though.

Depends if I like what's on the tyres.

As said above. Depends on what the letters say.
I was proud to have my "ROAD HUGGER" on the outside of my tires on my second GT but if it just says "MICHELIN" I'd put them inside.
Id they say "T/A RADIAL", it might be cool too

It's a matter of taste. Period correct would be outside. Just do what you think looks best.
