    Exactly. I just tested out a foam cannon this weekend. Holy crap! That saved a ton of time.


    I've been impressed with the Wildpeaks. Better all around traction than the stock Toyos at pretty much the limit of the Taco on road and the Stock suspension off road. They were perfect on canyon roads.

    That's based off internet research. Which has a high risk of inaccuracy in the 'catalog' world.

    Human contact is still a thing. Pick up the phone and call someone who sells them. Preferably the vendor you would buy from.

    Every BFG A/T I've purchased (3 different sizes over the past 20 years) have all had white letters on one side and black letters on the other. I usually buy common load ratings though.

    I think they changed the formula from 30 years ago. I remember cleaning white walls with that stuff and you had to make sure you used it in a well ventilated area and you could see it steaming on the sidewalls. Simple green is a good back up. Just seems to require a little more scrubbing. That old Westley's, you sprayed it on and once it stopped smoking, washed it off and it was bright white. I could only imagine what would have happened if you left it on!

    They took out 2-Butoxyethanol in 2013.

    I figured they took something out because the original formula was potent!

    They do make BFG KO2 with no RWL (Raised White Letters) and only black. When buying look at the model number and make sure it's the one you want, I have the RWL on mine on the show side.

    I concur.
    recently bought a set of 35x12.50x17’s for my 6.4 hemi powered wrangler rubicon.
    No white letters on that size.

    I had K02's on my F250 and will probably put them on the Tacoma, when I need tires. For cleaning white letters, I just used a cheap, dollar store degreaser and a plastic bristle brush attachment on the cordless drill.....took maybe a minute per tire to clean.

    I have 265/70/17 BFGs KO2. C rated. there is white lettering on one side, and black lettering on outisde... same as my last 3 sets also. (mud terrain, and all terrains, and radial GTs.)
    its simple. just look up their product number on the website you will see there is no "option".

    I don't know. I had OWL on my old Jeep all the time. Now the Taco has black wall stock tires. I actually think they look good. Less time cleaning to keep them looking good, no coin spent on Westley's bleach white. I just need a quick scrub with some simple green and all is good. Like someone else said in a thread about letter in or out "you always put the mayo on the inside of the bread".

    You can always get tire paint pens and color it in yourself. They come in a few different colors.
