As I look around the web I'm seeing the tire being mounted two different ways. Some with the flat edge out and others with the triangle edge out. Heck even nittos web site has the triangle edge out. The video I watched from Mel at Evo had flat out. I'm going to email nitto to see what they say.

When he gets done explaining the two different sides, it appears he says make sure you have the correct side out and points to the triangle side. But when the video goes on he mounts it with the flat out?? What's everyone think.
Even if triangle out is wrong I may try it. Just to see if it helps.

I believe it is cosmetic. No right or wrong, just a personal preference. I would make sure they are all the same.
When you look at your Jeep from the front and you compare the tread pattern on the two tires, does the tread go diagonal from upper left to lower right on both tires? (I hope I explained that good enough)

That's triangle in.

Not that I would do this but if you had triangle in on one side and triangle out on the other, would the "diagonals" run in opposing directions? I can't get my brain around that. If they did, I would think you would find a balance.

Man I wish someone gets this pulling thing figured out. When I first mentioned the video
To nautique210 of Mel, ( off road evolution ) mounting these tires on ATX Bead locks. That's
The reason I watched the video, I have those wheels sitting in garage , I was going to mount
The Nitto's on for my next set of tires. But don't think Iam going to spend that kind of Coin on
a tire that has a constant nagging pull to it, No matter How cool they look. lol....
