Tire Lettering

[Rochviper]

I know what they say about opinions. But curious what thoughts are about the white lettering they are applying to tires. I've seen some cars I thought they look good on. Wasn't sure how they would look on my Race Red CFTP. Also, are they durable?

Reminds me of Lightning McQueen in Cars. Great in an animated movie, not a big fan on real cars. But do what you like it’s your car. That’s the cool thing about cars.

I would think that you‘d have to apply it regularly to keep it looking fresh. Will you be using tire dressing? If so it may turn the lettering brownish if you use an applicator, otherwise it may be best to use a spray and let dry type of tire dressing.

I also think white lettering is more prevalent in the NASCAR and drifting scene. It’s not my cup of tea, but heck, I’ve probably done things to my cars that others don’t necessarily like either. I say do it if it’s what you like.

Could be ok, depending on the letter font and type size

Tacky as hell.

Sometimes I look at it and it subconsciously looks sick. Then I think about it and I think… that dudes a poser.
As others have said, it’s your car and part of what I love about mustangs is how mine is completely different than the next 10. You do you.

Why not go all the way and swap on a set of whitewalls?

Hard pass for me but like others have said they look good in certain applications.
Dodge wide body for example or your JDM drifter.

For me it's hit or miss, I've seen cars that I liked it on and others not so much. I am old enough to remember back in the mid 90's white lettered tires were fairly popular. We all know fads come and go. I say be a trend setter or do I mean restarter and go for it. You can buy a paint pens to apply, share some photos with us and if you don't like it you can always remove.

If it's on a race car and on a set of slicks yeah. But the white michelin letters (stickers etc.) Don't look so hot.

It's dumb. Don't make your $100k car look dumb.

Wasn't sure if I liked it or not hence for this post. Decided against it. My car is having ppf installed and the installer asked if I'd like the letters done. He just completed this car.

White letters were very common on muscle cars in the 60's and 70's. Since that is what I grew up with I still like to see them; just part of the history. All personal preference.

Or... just go full on white letters and red tire str
