FYI, when I phrased the description of the tire labels and the rim labels, I wasn't making a judgment as to what was incorrect, or correct- in case you thought I did. Rather, I was trying to describe which way the label was read.
In the printing business, (which I'm in for my day job) we talk about "right reading" or "it reads right" because we work with film negatives and sometimes the words are backwards which can be "correct", but not "right", if you know what I mean.
So, I was in a dilemma as to how I would phrase it because if I said "right" someone might think I meant from the right side... and if I said "correct" they might think I was making a judgment as to what was correct for the era.
Oh well,
Thanks for listening to me.
