Default Michelin LTX/MS2 in blackwall?

I see the LTX/MS2 with white lettering only, is this tire available in blackwall? I am ready to purchase them but I think that most stores on Long Island, NY don't have it in stock.

No, it's only available in raised white letters. I'm having mine turned inside out with the letters
on the inside. I've called Michelin and for some reason, they're only available in raised white letter.

Thanks, I guess I will be flipping them too, I don't like the white letters.

I went to order them at the local Mavis store and they said it also comes in blackwall. I ordered them and will be there by Thursday. Good thing is they have a $70 rebate and at $229 a tire is not a bad deal. I know they are going to charge me for balancing and mounting and also the TPS. The tires wore evenly so I think I don't need an alignment. Other than that what else could they possibly charge me with?

That's weird, my Lexus dealer, Tire Rack and Michelin said they're only available in raised white letter. I would think it would be worth the money for an alignment or at least to have it checked.

Default Ltx - ms - 2 265-60-18

I just had these installed yesterday at STS in Nanuet, NY. The LTX-MS - 2, came in blackwall. I drove about 75 miles since the installation, and I feel a more comfortable ride difference vs my stock tires. I only had 27,000 miles on my 2012 - GX-460 Premium. The stock Michelins wore out.
