I have a question about my new tires. General Grabber AT2. I told them to install white letters out, but looking at the tread, I think it's directional. So in order to install them with the correct rolling direction, the passenger side should be white letters facing in and the drivers side should stay the same (white out).
Is that a big deal? Should I leave it or is it better to have the correct direction. I usually scrape the right sides on a curb anyway, so maybe I'm better off without the white letters.
Here's some pics of my truck that I bought brand new in 2002. 4.7L, 4x4, 5 speed manual, 16 inch rims and new tires on it.
Those tires are not a directional tire. You can leave them the way they are. They wouldn't make them so you had to have one side with white letters out and one with them in. All, all terrain tires are non directional.
I've got these tires, mounted white letters out... I will say that if I could go back I'd have the letters facing in, because they faded pretty badly after a few months. But they're awesome tires.
Lol, It's why I went with lettering on the inside, too much of a pita everytime I clean the truck. On a directional tire is an arrow that shows rotation, grabber at's don't have one.
Most people when they wash their trucks scrub the tires to get the dirt off. Ive always sprayed mean green on them and let it sit about 30 secs then proceed to scrub them. Thats all I ever had to do to get my white letters back to bright white.
