Hey guys Just acquired a set of goodyear wrangler mtrs and they have to be mounted with the white lettering to the outside which I hate Is just black permanent marker good enough to black the white out or does anyone have any other tricks up their sleeves Cheers for any input |

why don't you run them on opposing sides so the lettering is on the inside? |

Because the tread pattern is asymmetrical and have to be mounted the right way |

So the ones on the right run opposite direction to the left ? Or do they make left and right side tyres ? |

They do run opposite to each other but if you Google Goodyear mtr kevlar and look up images you will see why they have to be mounted that way |

Yes, your Sharpie is suitable for blackening the white letters, but you will have to redo them from time to time. Don't try and buff the white letters off, unless you want whitewalls.... You can also buy black paint suitable for rubber, but you will still need to redo from time to time... |

Yeah the different section of rubber goes Inside. Correct I guess a sharpie pen is the way to go |

Wouldn't the cost of the paint be equal to (or close to) the price to refit the tyres on the rims the way you want? Am I missing something here? Someone on AZ might even do it for you for a few beers or some such. EDIT: I answered my own question. Yes, I was missing something... more beers in my face. |

Haha I'm a mechanic dude. I'll fit the tyres and flip Em all day long but they've been designed that way for a reason I just don't like the white lettering. Every time I see a 4by with white lettering just makes me think what a hard ass lol |

I'd be interested to see if there actually was a difference running them the wrong way. |

Not a massive difference, even as claimed by Goodyear. But thats the intended way to mount them. In the larger sizes on "race cars" they swear by running them with that bit of tread on the inside. |

interestly they do look almost uni-directional. The drivers side tyre would pull water into the centre and create an aquaplane situation. mind you i like to experiment and have run Silverstone Extremes in reverse on the front of the sierra to see if it helps to pull the car onto rocks etc rather then push off. |

Put white on insides. End thread. They are directional, not corner directional Paint the letters, Its just going to show again. |

I've heard many stories of people running aggressive directional tyres on backwards for more grabbing traction on rocks etc. Obviously they wouldn't work for shit in the wet |
