I like it. Makes the car look more sporty. The stickers would look wrong on a blacked out limousine but they complement a black sports car.

I think Michelin should be paying people for advertising their tires like that, but that's another story!

I don't see it so much as a "NASCAR" thing, but more as a general "RACING" thing.

I actually like the look (only for a sports car though!) With your overall black theme, the contrast works great.

I think Michelin should be handing them out for free!

No guys, really, don't hold back!!!
As far as being called Ricky, he's awesome, he has 2 first names.
Thanks for all your honest opinions, and it got just the result I wanted. Anything that raises this much controversy is exactly what I want.
As far as the neh sayers, don't worry, I plan on driving the **** out of her this summer and those tire will be gone in no time.

Cheers
Ricky Bobby....

PS, just running H&R lowering springs...

Exactly. Also, (I believe TurboDan said it earlier), why pay to advertise? If Michelin gave you free tires in exchange, then, of course...

Ricky...do you look at your car and think "Damn that's a sexy beast!" then keep 'em, if not, then get rid of 'em. Keeping them clean will be challenge, worst thing would if some of the letters get dirty and blacked out and it starts to look like MICHEL or HELIN or MIC :P

Only if they gave me a 1/3 discount on the tires.

Ride er hard and put er away wet!!

Don't understand the advertising comments. We all have Porsche's and guys put stickers or badging etc and Porsche isnt paying us to drive and advertise for them. Or at least they aren't paying me!

Don't like 'em.
Ruins the look...since you asked.
All that matters is whether you like 'em or not.
