Default Tyre Lettering

Hey everyone I'm now considering a cosmetic mod that some might view as stupid but regardless I'd love the input.

I think its a subtle cosmetic mod. But what would a 19 year old know? I was playing with my hot wheels years ago.


I know its popular in the states, 4wds, muscle cars and vintage cars.

Probably acceptable on decent r-spec tyres. On shithouse tyres, like ling longs, wouldn't want to really advertise that fact.

Andy did it to his a while back. The whiteout didn't last long, but it was something different

I think it looks good on the right tyres and car.

Heres mine, needs re-applying now.

i was considering this on my 32

basically came to the opinion
on track slicks like michelins, old muscle cars and 4wds yes
on street rubber / r comps no as it does not really have enough side wall to pull it off

$100 usd for stickers? You could get it for like $10 I'm sure. Try paint pens. I did it but it comes off or goes brown quite quick.
