Anyone have Tire Lettering on their street car?

Bless you. That is quite a burden to carry with you. As my Grandfather used to say - "we all have our crown of thorns to wear". He'd then jump in his red Porsche, with a giant farking wing on the back, turn on the sport exhaust, and burn out, cackling like a mad man.
He was humble, and had a nose for hypocrisy as well

I do what i want and if I want to post it in a thread I do a but I am not looking for someone to make me feel better with my choice. I'm comfortable with my own taste level.

+1, totally agree. I feel if you had the cash or credit to get one of these cars which don't come easy or cheap then do to it what you wish. If you willingly ask for input or critique than be prepared to get more than you asked for from the self perceived elite that reside here.

My post was merely pointing out (in a hopefully humorous way) that NaGABiker isn't exactly driving around in moto-subtle. And some may find his choice (not I) as tasteless.

There are too many people on this site that have a higher opinion of themselves than reality. Good luck with your own self perceptions. Most of you who comment about taste don't have a clue what that really means. Have fun humoring yourselves. Sometimes this site bores me because of the attitude of some that exist here.
Op it's your car do what you want.

Alright, people, I tried. I pointed out, with unfailing gentleness and an appeal to your higher sensibilities, just how bad this idea really is. I took one for the team here, opening your eyes to how your fellow man, woman (maybe not child) will see you. I rolled back the curtain to shine the light of truth on how even your fellow well-heeled sportscar enthusiast will perceive you.
Alas, all to no avail. The cries of anguish, the gnashing of teeth at my simple appeal to decorum, good taste, and a modicum of restraint have worn me down. My work here is done. I wash my hands of this burden, this duty to my fellow Porsche owners. Cavort about like BMW-philes if you wish; tart up your rides like 24-year-olds who just got their first 350Z. My record is clean, my reputation unsullied.
I tried. Lord knows, I tried...

I love RWL tires (guess from growing up in the 70s) and I've debated the tire stickers myself. Worried that it might be perceived as kinda douchey, like driving around town with the spoiler up. Think it looks best on black wheels and only on the more serious sports cars (GT3's, etc.). Would look kind of weird on a run of the mill Carrera IMO.
It all depends on the car

I clicked on this expecting to hate lettering, but there are some tasteful examples. I think I like!
The comparison between truck nutz and tire lettering doesn't compute with me. My impressions are more nuanced when comparing a vulgar declaration of gender to a pointless aesthetic.

Only Porsche this looks good on is a lowered vintage with aggressive offset (ie outlaw) or a GT3RS. GT3 is borderline at best. Putting tire stickers on a stock Carrera is questionable. It's like wearing sneakers with a suit.
