simonpelly Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hi Folks, Interested in the following tyres: 235/85/16 B F GOODRICH T/A KO 2 ALL TERRAIN 120S However, keen to not have raised white lettering on the tyre walls. Believe that there is a black lettering option? Have folks managed to source this or know whether this is an option? Simon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 You just put them on with the white lettering on the inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Oh! Didn't realise that there was a white and black lettering side to each of the tyres. Their web page suggests white on both sides according to their graphical spin gadget https://www.bfgoodrich.co.uk/gb/ranges/4x4-Range/BFGoodrich-All-Terrain-T-A-sup-KO2-sup Simon...

Snagger Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Yep, most if not all BFGs and quite a lot of other 4x4 tyres from big brands have a modest side and gauche side.😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Litch Posted August 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2019 And don't forget, it is actually illegal to have the white lettering on show, the penalty for which is a lifetime of humiliation and distain from your peers. 😉 Go black, you know it makes sense! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Yeah. Keen to go with black and hence the question for this thread. Have never noticed either some folk must have the white on the inside. Will pay more attention to other peep's tyres when raising a polite hand wave and passing Defenders in the future. Simon...

Litch Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 This is the INSIDE of my Cooper ST Maxx, never even removed the protective coating from the white lettering let alone let it be on show. Side by side with the new BFG AT KO bought to replace the ST Maxx, don't have a side on but once again you can see it was to be on the INSIDE.

Blaven Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Yes Nakatanenga carrier, and what looks like a fixing for a bike rack is actually a fitting for a trailer stabiliser bar.

BogMonster Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 White lettering must always be on the outside, assuming you bought a decent tyre like a BFG, and not some ****ty remould copy, Nankang dingaling or something or other, in which case go and stand in the corner! Behold the sheer magnificence: Now wondering what the coloured ones would look like though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I bought my MT KM1s 2nd hand on rims, with white lettering facing out. My choice would have been the opposite way, but I couldn't be bothered to change them. That was 15 years ago and they still have 50% tread left😁 The lettering is raised white on one side, and raised outline only on the other. The choice is yours.

Do you have bright orange or green suspension parts to go with them? 😆 I think the coloured ones would look very cheap, with half the stickers having fallen off due to abrasion or sidewall flexing from needing to run at lower pressure. I’m sure your bank statement would look unreasonably slimmer, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tongue was slightly in my cheek about the coloured option No, I don't have Extreme Orange springs, genuine springs which last much longer!
