Just rotate the tires to the other side?

I just bought this set of tires with a set of Procomp 8128's and I can't wait to get them on. I've seen them in person and they look very impressive. I'll post up pics and have a review when I get them. I'm sure I can find some mud to run through up here in WA as well. That being said, I don't think they will do that bad in it.

Like mykit8 said, some of the sizes come with white letters which means the white letters have to be mounted out. It is not recommend to run this tire without the outside designation facing out.


Wow, didnt know that. Don't have em, but nice to know.

Has anybody had a chance to try these out in the snow yet? My BFG A/T's are terrible in the snow...not that we get much in Arkansas, but I'm just curious in case I decide to go try to play in some snow this winter.

i passionately hate the old MTR, always have and always will for where i live, it is the worst tire available. however the new MTR is amazing. i wasn't a believer until i rode with my buddy who had a set, these things out did every tire on the trail that day, and it was extremely muddy, he only had to use the winch once on a muddy hill when he got stuck trying to pull another jeep up the hell. the jeep with the old MTR's had to be winched 6 times that day

Mine are also mounted backwards, does it really matter? Will they wear out faster if I do not change them?

For optimum handling on and off-road, you should have them switched around.

The previous owner of my MTR's had them mounted backwards. I ran them that way for a bit and then had them switched to the correct way. I didnt notice any difference on or off road.
