godofthunder Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hey, I was just wondering Does anyone know if these can be mounted ok with the white letters facing in? I really dont know how they will look wit them out. I had white letters on my Ciera, and it looked nice. MAybe I will look at it in photoshop before long. Just wanted to know if the white letters could be inside, or if they had just plain ones. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGPilot Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Any tire can be mounted with white letters in or out. Even directional tires can be done this way... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEiZe Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 I have some directional Goodyear UltraGrips on my car and they state on the sticker, that they can be mounted eitherway but it is advised not to mount them the opposite way of the direction listed due to safety hazzard.

Right because one major design feature of directional tires is to move water out of the tread of the tire in a big hurry. If you reverse that then you are causing the water to stay in the tire tread... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 i have the ultra grips on my car, and i look like a damn off road jeep, the tread new must have been like 11-12 32nd's deep! But i got all 4 for less than 150 mounted and balanced. Do u like yours Seize? Mine howl like super swampers do.... Anyone know of a cheap place to get tires?

GPRACER Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 You can get the Comp T/A in blackwall, basically the same tire with a higher speed rating, And the Radial T/A is not directional so yes you can put the white letters in, I have done this before on many cars.

Dumbass!! wait till it rains and you go over a puddle, hydroplaining to the max.
