| The white letters go out on RZRs, cause they know they won't get dirty! Or it could be so you can read it on my front tire that is not spinning! | |

| Jet , they are made from one mold , so there is no direction to them so just turn them around and black out the white , maybe fusion flat black . | |

| Here is a great customer review on the bighorn that I noticed at Rocky Mountain atv when I bought mine. Good Tire, but disappointed with.....By Peter in NYComments On Dec 21, 2010:I ordered and received four tires. The overall design of the tire appears to be good, but the "Maxis Bighorn" writing on the side wall had a blue tint of paint sprayed over the white lettering. I'm not exactly sure why it was painted. I had to use a black marker the cover the paint because I did not feel like packing the tires back up to return them. Was this review helpful? | |

| Jet,
Just get u some Krylon and paint them black! Either that or turn them around.
Used car lots do spray paint tire sidewalls blac to make them look good. |

| Jet, I think the letters should all be painted to match the color on your vehicle.
Kubota Orange maybe | |

| Regular paint will not hold , basicly you need to die the white letter , now James might have a paint that would hold ( if it had a flex addative ) . But really just turn them around . I rotate mine left to right from time to time to that it stays on the sharp edge and wears the back sharp again ..... You will notice this if you ride a lot of hard top and packed roads , and it does make a difference .... | |
