Default Tire Stickers!

I know this may not be everyone's cup of tea but to each there own. I love the look. I've always wanted to try these as i love the white logos and they give the car a proper track bred look. I had these made and i'll admit i was skeptical about the longevity but after application when they say permanent i have no doubt that they are permanent. I went with the custom made patterns so that the "michelin" fits perfectly in the tires' "michelin" logo.

I personally like them and I'm very very very picky when it comes to customization. The best part I like about them is the fact that they match the original Michelin script. I'm not a fan of the large ones. Well done!

I am also a fan. I saw something similar against a Racing Yellow GT4 at Lime Rock and thought it looked great.

Car and garage look great!

I put TredWear on my GTS and love them. They are permanantly bonded and clean up easily. Check out this video:

I like the look! I guess RWB made it famous with his IDLERS tire scripts. I don't have the guts to do it, but maybe, some day...

Looks great! Nicely done. Can I order a set too?

I've been on http://www.tirestickers.com/shop/ a few times, but can't really figure out if this is a good option or if they'll look crap. Yours look high quality.

Maybe if I could get inch wide white walls I'd do it!

they are made of some sort of rubber about 0.5mm thick, they are applied with what they call FleXement, i believe it is a type of flexible crazy glue, cleaning the tires and removing all oil i followed the instructions and applied the lettering, after application i felt a letter was slightly off and took a heat gun to it with LOTS of heat and tried to peel the letter back, keep in mind this is only about 10 minutes after putting it on, no matter how hard i tried i couldn't peel it off to reposition instead i just skinned the letter and the actual rubber split but the cement did not fail.

they are very high quality and come on clear transfer paper. like i said earlier i used the custom option to make sure the letters were an exact fit.

i actually already made the template for logos that fit the stock michelins, send me a pm and i'll send you the scanned image. I'm already out of luck but if there's enough interest i'll contact them and see if a group buy is possible.
