Tyre Lettering

[Payco]

What are peoples views ?. I am not sure whether to apply or not.

[Ekona]

Nah. They can look good, but needs to be on the right car and tbh unless you like having the US spelling of tyre on the side of your car only the Toyo one looks vaguely decent. But then you need to be running Toyos  

 

They're a pain to fit, and they're more of a pain to remove, and they're an absolute bitch to keep clean. I wouldn't do it again.

Show car, yes imo 

[Payco]

Dan/Davey. Thanks. Think I will pass as I was more against than for.

[ATTAK Z]

As Dan says, on the right car, yes

 

My Chevy

 

 

and my old TransAm

 

You need a pretty high profile tyre to get them to look right IMO so not really suitable for a Zed or any modern sports car for that matter.

[StevoD]

You need a reasonable side wall or they look a bit daft. 

 

On some 18s with a 275/40 look fine on some 19s probably not enough

I used a white pen to colour in the brand name, it looks nice but discolours quick enough for me to not wanna try it again. 

 

I've heard printed letters are better but need gluing and often tear off. 

 

I've been there done it and would advise against it unless you really wanna get attention.

I like tyre lettering, I think it is a nice detail.

Maybe on a civic, but everyone has different ideas for mods

I don't know how long it took you, but my god how annoying was it to colour in the Hankook? The ventus s1 letters are so easy in comparison. I have the exact same tyres and couldn't be arsed doing it again when I changed the tyres over.

More hours than I'd like to admit. If you'd asked me while doing it, I'd have said never again, but considering how well it's held up, I dunno any more.

 

Yeh, the Hankook was a right ballache cos it was just recessed instead of having the lip border. I got bored of trying to be neat, splodged it something like and scraped off the mess.

You must be mad Martin if you put these on your Nismo..
