Then fix yer sig links! I could've caught something nasty! I was pretty sure you had set them up over here, though. Just clicked rather than looking.

You actually wanted sidewalls that said electra ironman?!?!?

All we used to use at the tire shop was soap, water and a stiff brush. Why didn't they clean them for you when they mounted them?

Actually, I wanted them to say "BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A", but I got four of these for the price of two of those, and the tread pattern's even more aggressive. :reddevil:

I went to the tire shop for the install in a small window of time between work and my son's hockey practice, had no time to screw around with the letters there...

I used, soap, tire brush and my all-purpose cleaner that works on everything and it only took about 5% of the blue stuff off. :(

All is history now though. :D

Good job, and I like white lettering to show on my truck tires. And honestly, once you get moving no one is going to know.
