I have that exact same tire on my Jeep and they are black walls out. But come to think of it I don't even have black letters on the tires at all. I was informed that since the tire is a symetrical tire it can be mounted and driven in any direction. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.

I'm pretty sure i remember hearing that the new Kevlar MT/R's were directional, and the only way to mount them was white letters out. Could be wrong though.

I am stil yet to see an "official" call, but the general consensus around forums is "the LOOK directional, but aren't."

Maybe check with Goodyear or an authorized dealer for assurance before committing.

Innovative Asymmetric Tread Design Helps Provide Aggressive Off-Road Traction And Enhanced Handling On The Road
which means NO you cannot mount the other way.
