as far as i know goodyear doesnt put white lettering on tires that have to be mounted in any specific direction.. like their fortera line only has white lettering on the non directional tires, same with their car tires that have the whitewall option, of course the biggest goodyears i typically see are 285/75/16 wrangler silent armors, so may be different with the MT-Rs if you have any Q's about them i can call our rep monday to ask about it
