    Walmart has the BFGodrich long trail T/A tour tire on there website (225-75-15) and they show that tire as black walled.Every other search I did of these tires show white letered,which I want.Do you think there description is wrong and there actually white lettered,it is Walmart after all?

    I wonder if they are reversible, white letter on one side black on the other.

    If not, a tire marker is cheap enough if the price is good on the meats.\

    It does say sidewall: Black Sidewall in the description.It actually looks like the same picture they have on at least 3 different sizes of the BFgoodriches.Just wondering if they just used a stock picture multiple times,and not updated that it is actually white lettered.Thanks for the welcome,and awesome info/knowledge here!

    Most tires have one side each way. If they are not directional tires at least.

    If the picture is black walled and the description says black sidewall, then it probably is. Both types are available - Black on both sides, or white on one side to give you the option. Walmart will often stock the cheaper option so their price will look better than everyone else's, so check all the other specs.
    I have seen this, not on the BFGs, but on a set of Good Years that I wanted to get for my wife's minivan. The tire looked almost exactly like the one at the Good Year store, but closer inspection showed that the lifetime rating was different and the tread pattern was different, even though the model name was the same.

    From another thread - Walmart gets tires made specially for them - cheaper, not the same as what you get elsewhere. Might still be good tires, not always apples to apples.
