A question on buying tires
Is it normal for them to give you "white walls" and just turn the white walls on the inside. I just noticed this on my truck. Did I get taken?

1. I get white walls and turn them in I don't think White walls look all that
good. If you want them turned out go back and have them fix it. They are the same tires either way.

4. No, I didn't want white walls at all
I guess it really doesn't matter all that much. You hardly ever see whitewalls and I was just wondering if this was a way for them to get rid of inventory that nobody wants.

7. Did you get the Size and Make of tire you ordered? Do you have the
warranty you paid for? If so you are fine. White Walls don't count.

5. My tires had the white lettering I don't like
so the dealer swabbed a black tire paint over the white letters, mounted the tires with painted side inside, and 5 years later the white has yet to show itself. Your dealer can paint the whitewalls to cover them up if you want.

2. In my experience, this is normal
I questioned this once myself.

6. Sweet!
I like it. But waht is it? Motorcycle, moped, or scooter? Looks like a vintage motorcycle to me. Are they still manufacturing those or is that an antique that somebody restored?
