"tire was not mounted right. inside-out technically.
The small strip of AT looking thread goes inward, not outward.
If you look at the text around the rim, you'll find some that says "This side out" and "This side in".
"
But when I bought those Mud Tire from GoodYear Dealer, they told me they can either mount tire on wheel in two ways
small strip of AT inward (better on road noise)
small strip of AT outward (better offroad traction)
Since I kept my stock whee/tire for daily drive and this Mud Tire only faces offroad situation, I chose to have AT trip go outward.
I am not sure who is correct. What's your opinion?
