Firestone Destination A/T University of Alabama Limited Edition

I've always liked the Firestone Destination A/T tire and now my local tire shop has a great deal going on the tire (buy 3 get 1 free at $164 each, + additional $20 off) but the deal is only for the limited edition U of A tire. So basically the U of A edition has raised white lettering on the sidewall that says "University of Alabama" and then "Crimson Tide." Now I have some die hard Alabama friends who might beam with pride having these things on their rig, but personally I can't bring myself to roll on these things if that RWL is going to be greeting me everytime I look at my truck.

I'm wondering, has anyone else seen these limited edition tires in person or does anyone own a set, and, if so, can you confirm whether both sides of the tire have the same RWL? I may just have to stop by the LTS to see them in person, because I can just imagine a UofA fan telling me "It's only on one side" because they want UofA on display, when in fact its on both.

I may bite on this deal if I can install the tires with the RWL facing inward on all wheels.

My follow up question is does anyone know a good method for removing the white paint from RWL?

 

In case anyone is curious, the size I'm interested in is 265/70r17.

 

OH MY GOD, THEY'RE REAL!! ( I think...)

 

Do they cry when they get beat?

 

Yep, that's them

 

I'm curious why you want to get rid of yours? Anything bad about their design (I mean apart from the UofA edition)?

 

Are your tires "E" rated with a max 65 or 80 psi?

 

Oh, okay. That's not the higher load rating then. Was hoping the stiff ride was only because of a higher load rating. I appreciate your feedback. Mine will be going on a DD too, so that's something I need to consider.
