Im not going to lie, I usually dont like the over-the-top mods but I was at a cars and coffee this weekend and a few of the exotics had white or red lettered tires and I kind of liked them.

I believe these are a kit for street tires?anyone have them?

how easily removed are they if I wanted to just try them out?

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.

Who's car you calling run of the mill?

thats kind of whats got me thinking....I would like my somewhat standard GT silver to have a more edgy/aggressive look without modding the body with some kind of kit, etc.

Obviously, the lettering is completely pointless, but it is a fun little way to add some zing to the car. The way I figure it these cars are supposed to put a smile on our face. If a little sticker adds to that enjoyment, by all means rock them.

A handfull of our clients have opted for some form of tire lettering. The adhesive is pretty gummy so it won't come off (very easily) while driving. You can peel them right off with a blade and use some goo-gone on the residual adhesive.

BTW, I do think they look great and will almost certainly put them on my GT3 if I'm able to get an allocation, for the reason mentioned directly above. Because they put a smile on my face.

reduces performance, adds weight / rotating mass and drag

Looks much faster. Reduces 0-60 time by .5 seconds.

Instead of "Bridgestone" or "P-Zero" might as well say "I use magnums I do I swear it I promise. You don't believe me?"

I searched but nobody seems to make them for UNIROYAL.

Fun, cheap, and easily removed. Modifications don't get much better in my opinion. I tried them on my car for a while but the 20" low-profile tires chewed them up pretty quickly so I removed them.



I do, however love the painted white letters on my '67.

New P-Zero's can be pre-ordered with colored sidewall.

I used to buy the white pen/ crayon for tire and do the tires but that was in the late 80's.

Cool. I was wondering when manufacturers would start offering white lettering from the factory.
