| 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.

I questioned this once myself.

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?
