Default MT/R Kevlar ?'s

I am looking to get these tires when I do lift/tires soon and have a couple questions..

The white letters are "supposed" to face out right??
How are ppl darkening the letters? Rubbing the paint off or coloring over it?
Mounting them inside out?

I am really leaning towards these tires and dont want to leave the white letters out, so any tips would help greatly.

Oh, and first post ... new owner of a 2011 Rubicon Unlimited

Cheers.

Some of them come with Black out. If the size u want has OWL, and it is important to u to have no white letters out, than go with a different tire. they are designed to be run a certain way with an inside and an outside tread. I highly suggest u run them the way they r designed. I have said it before and I will say it again, I do not understand the extreme distaste for OWL. I think it looks fine and I could care less as long as the tire performs well.

On 35's there are no white letters, make sure you mount them with the proper side out (it says this side outboard on the sidewall). I've seen a very reputable tire company put them on backwards so make sure you double check the sidewalls before you leave.

Sounds like I won't have to worry about the letters then as I'll be getting 35's.

Thanks for the help, and love this forum
