Let us know how that "flip" turns out. I'm interested in seeing if anyone at the tire shop figures this one out.

my head hurts reading this post. I tried to do a search to see if theres a simple solution for this and I came up with nothing permanent. Looks like your options are to have them remounted with black side out or continue to paint them black ever so often.

Here's a crude picture to explain what people have said to do.

look at a tire on tire rack, the inside tread, with the black lettering side wall is a different tread design then the outer. this goes for the tire on the left side of the vehicle or the right side, flipping them from side to side doesn't help. it's an asymetrical tire, not a directional. thanks for everyones input, i will try paint.

Nothing just personal preference really. For me it depends on what kind of car their on...Dislike on my pathfinder.....like on classic muscle cars.... To each his own!
