It does depend on the landy the tyres are going on

I have had them on the outside and then on the inside and on my landy i prefer them on the inside

For the landys with the lettering on the outside there is a way to keep the lettering like new

Ok...I had decided upon lettering on the inside of the wheel...that's exactly what I told the tyre fitter. All going well and then I hear an "oops!". The chap had been so focused on being careful with my wheels that he'd slipped up on the lettering....

So rather than have them remove the tyre and refit I went with lettering on the outside of the wheel. Obviously meant to be!

Question....recommended tyre pressures on 18's?

It's completely true.....really!

I didn't want to risk them being marked when removing and refitting the tyres. So the tyre fitter made my mind up for me

I'll get round to fitting them on the weekend. 110 DCPU

Ive just had a terrible thought..

My wheels are being powder coated as we speak, wonder if they put the tyres back with the white lettering on the inside/outside or god forbid a mix of both...

I do genuinely like the white text showing though myself.

Always think its an american thing to have the white lettering on show, but each to their own isn't it

I would choose out- but that's less because I want to have the lettering on show, more that putting the letters inside sorta looks wrong to me when you catch a view of the lettering on the wrong side of the tyre if that makes sense. I guess if the tyre didn't have white writing I'd be happy- but so long as it does- it's going outside for me! 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2
