White letters to the inside, always much better milage and less punctures......

Morning Kev,
You won't have any problems with the BFG 265 x 75 R16's, we run them on our work Toyota's and my own private vehicle and they handle the heat up here much better than others. We travel extensively on gravel, sand, rock you name it without any control issues... and with the writing inwards.

Good choice mate.

NOEL K.

Morning Kev
I am still waiting for an answer to my application for a Government Grant to sort out this imprtant issue !!
I will keep you informed as to any progress. In the meantime, any statistics you may wish to supply will be entered up into the data base.

Good choice Sir Kev.

Now all you have to do is spray the white lettering with GMH black LOL.

Good afternoon Sir Kev. I have spoken to several people about the subject. There was a unanimous answer. " File off the lettering it will solve any problems with Wheel Balancing and Alignment" Most people put the lettering on the inside to stop them getting stolen.

IMHO you blokes are full of it.
Which way do you have the spare ???

Hey Kev
It wont make any difference cos we all know darkie doesn't go fast enough for a wheel ballance to make any difference. You would be better getting a set of tracks off one of those cars modified for the snow fields as speed is limited to the pace of a D9 and this would serve you and sam well........LOL
Might even be able to get to the same places off road the rest of us get to......ROFLMAO

See ya

Sir Kev. Why not turn them inside out. You could probily entre the A1s or V8s next year. Darkie on POLE. Go for it.

Member - Dunworkin (WA) replied:

Hi Sir Kev, We have the white lettering on the outside of ours, the first set we had on the 'beast' we got 110,000ks out of them and so far, the set that we have on now is going good as well, (touching wood here!!!), so definitely white writing on the outside ha ha ha.

BTW, thanks for the light hearted thread.

Cheers

Deanna

Its reverse racism you trying to hide the white lettering on the inside
HAHAHA

Member - Rob S (NSW) replied:

The outside for me Sir Kev don't forget the bling factor.LOL
But when they get muddy it dosen't really matter!

It depends on whether you wear your undies on the outside or inside

How odd that nobody has mentioned thermal efficiency. Tests have shown that having the lettering on the inside helps to reflect engine heat and thus contributes to tyres running cooler. This works best in summer.

In winter, the reverse applies. It is often best to turn the tyres over once ambient temperatures begin to drop. The black sides will then absorb more engine heat and help keep the tyres warmly efficient.

Sheesh - am I the only person here who knows this important stuff?

Hey Kev

if ya rig wasnt a bitumen baby the writing would be covered in mud!!!!!

Geoff (Newcastle, NSW) replied:

Well young Kev,
As far as I'm concerned if I'm paying it's white lettering in.

If the tyre manufacturer wishes to shout a set then I've no problem at all with white lettering out!
