yup...flip em...

and use Krylon Ultra Flat Black on the white when running on the inside.

Dries the same sheen and color as the tire. Cant even tell you painted it.

Uh, if you told him wrong, then that would be your fault. If he forgot to ask and assumed . . then it's his fault. Talk to the tire place and see if they want to make you happy.

Don't try this. It's not paint, it's actually the rubber. The more you grind off in that area the more white you get.

I agree with Mark, if they just assumed and didnt ask you thats on them, they should have asked. If they want to keep your business and keep you coming back they will switch them for you!

This is gonna be a problem with the new MTR Kevlars. You can't mount the white letters in, its an assymetrical tire.

I'm still gonna order some 305/70/17's, but I'm not pleased about the white letters at all. I might try to black them out as well.
