Goodyear tire logo colors and orientation
 

I may post this on the model a side as well as some of those guys have the OCD levels to paint the logos as original.

Anyways, I lost my photo of a NOS Goodyear tire I used to have and can’t remember if the yellow was top and bottom or on the sides? I went ahead and painted them anyways, but does it look correct? FYI this is a 6.50-16 on a 36

Using Google shows yellow top and bottom. Just had a set of these put on my '39 pickup. I had the installer put the Goodyear name centered on the valve stem so with hubcaps on and the V8 centered as well it all lines up. Is that OCD?, place that did the work said no one had ever requested that before. Also I had seen the whitewall version of these tires with the ribbing but didn't know it was on the blackballs as well. Vendor pictures online don't really show it at all.
