Guest diesel_jim Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 the one on the right of the see-saw Thats about right Ralph.... red hair and firey!! I started breaking the wheels down today... Well, broke the beads on 1 1/2 of the wheels (only got 8 1/2 to go) but got bored. think i'll go down the type place with a crate of beer and see if they'll swap them over for me.

tacr2man Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 They were white out untill the red mud turned them pink , goes well with my Zebra stripes (whats bling? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Bar Cowboy Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Definitely in ............................ I have white lettered tyres (Khumo) on the cherokee ................when the tyre fitter rolled it out the bay I needed 'kin sunglasses ............. and promptly told him to turn them all around .............. he was not best pleased ............. but then ........... the tw@t should have asked me first ! Another problem is keeping the white lettering clean ............I had white lettered tyres on a company 4x4 and when the lettering gets dirty they look sh1te .......... best method of cleaning is either a pencil rubber or a dry scotch cloth.....................never again !

BogMonster Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Best way of cleaning is a bucket of warm soapy water and one of the big synthetic kitchen scourers, the type that are a sponge on one side and a sort of synthetic abrasive stuff on the other. Takes about 30 sec per wheel to do. Works a treat for brake dust on alloys too, so don't be a wimp and do it all properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Depends... Do you have other stickers etc on the landy that advertise other bits/companies?? If so then why not have the letters out to advertise your tyre company as well? Personally I have them out on my BFG MT's- cost me enough so might as well make it obvious that they are not Colway remoulds!! Shrek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Got to be white lettering out. Particularly if the truck has a few mods. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 shouldn't have time to get bored when there's a 110CSW to build & buy lots of shiney bits for. Thats what i've been doing tonight.... stripping down the axle i got from JST ready to blast some of the bits tomorrow and slap some paint on at the weekend. I'll have a "proper" rolling chassis then! cand fit the gearbox & bulkhead then... and be able to move in my garage again. trouble is, i keep wasting my time on silly things like that engineering test... i got 80%... thought i was cleverer than that!

JimAttrill Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Letters out, otherwise what is the point of buying something with white lettering and anyway it just looks like some idiot has put them on the wrong way round... That's why I fitted mine with the lettering out.... But if you fit Cooper Discovers you have no choice as there is no white lettering. (Replacing the BFG AT's with CD S/T's - a good looking tyre and much cheaper than the BFGs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a names man so Goodyear or BFG look cool the other look cheap and tacky My disco has them out and my Range also has them out.

SacredDog Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 In, unless you cant remember what tyres you have.......... Ahh, so that's why mine are on the outside, I'd forgotten. Seriously, the first pair were fitted White Out without me asking (and I hadn't even given it any thought). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz0203 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 out everytime, i paid 125 pound per corner for my bf ats, im proud to have them there as i rate these the best money can buy for there purpose, if id have bout cheap and nasty insa turbo at copys or general something or others then fair enough, but to wear these white side out is always the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
