    Yup, good old tire black will cover them up, fairly durable too. Last place I found a can of it was at a NAPA store.... Just plain old rattle can black will hide them too, just doesn't last as long...

    I like the white out.Am I not with the program? BFG seems to be the tire of choice.Was it designed to put the white inside,IMO I think not.

    Hoosier and G'year slicks have the letters painted on. Road tires have it all the way to the carcass - remember that the little old ladies have to park by feeling the curb thru the steering wheel and it for sure wouldn't do for the white to rub off

    Black leather shoe dye will also do the trick.
