Check out this white tire paint.

[FUNFER2]

I'll have to look at mine and see if there's a difference. The biggest reason I did not use the various paint pens is because I thought it would take forever, to apply but, I have talked to a couple of guys that said it went fairly fast.

I'll try the Ranger paint and see how it goes. I'm hoping that with my quality paint brushes, that I won't have the brush marks.

I'm at work right now and don't have time to find the post, but these tires are directional.

Do a search before you mount them.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll defer to the tire mounting guy on which side is which - he should know, hopefully.

I'm going to guess that unless he mounts a lot of these tires, he will not know.

Here is a link to the site that explains it.

WOW - I owe you, Silverback51, I also doubt that he knows this.

Question - the X - Serial Number - is that the small tag on each tire - some numbers, along with what looks like a bar code - I now notice that each one is different (numbers), just checking as I really need to get this right the first time.

Also, the Kraus specs show a notation in the Goodyear section relating to Yellow Letter tires - I'm thinking - that's not my tires, right? So my pattern is Rear Wheel Drive with serial numbers showing on the left front and right rear, agree?

I realize that some of these questions are really lame, but I've no expertise in this area, only banking.

Thanks for any input and once again for your post above.

You have it correct CDC.

The Yellow Letter tires are the full race slick, or the hand grooved slicks. Not what you have.

Now get out there and get them mounted so we know how how you like them.

I'm on the case, but someone should inform Goodyear to forget about 'painting' the letters white from the factory - it's mind boggling to see what a slop job they do, one may as well start with nothing painted and paint. I realize that they are actually race tires, but Geez, they're not free and buying America should produce an American well done job, period.

I started taking the paint off of one tire - there is a small sticker that doesn't actually come off on one side - mine says 0030 9002 - I don't want that showing so that's the inside. It's the indication I was looking for - but I'm guessing. My tire mounting guy will know for sure, hopefully. I'm not going to paint them until after they are mounted.

There is a huge difference - looks like the serial numbers are embedded on one side - indicates how they are to be mounted - see Silverback51 post and URL to Roger Kraus Racing above.

Also, I ordered paint from Ranger Labs - asked them first what to use to take paint off, even their paint - they stated......"remove paint using acetone".

PS - acetone seems a little harsh to me, I'm going back to Rubbing Alcohol.

It appears to work and is a lot faster than Rubbing Alcohol, on the other hand it's stronger and a real chemical.
