RWL rear tires vs blackwall front

[cheveslakr]

From my memory it was very common to face the rear white letters outward and leave the fronts in, if they even had white letters. In my case it was because I spent the money on the rears and usually just found some cheap front runners, usually oem tires. I do the same thing today on a couple cars, the only thing different is the cost of the front tires.
