You don't have to drive around with it so no need to make such critical insults... I could say the same about the F badge on your car that you recently added. "What are you an IS-F driver? That is so..."

Anyways, I always liked the look of the white painted letters on tires but like someone said earlier, it'd be quite a hassle if it just became black after it became dirty. Lol. I remember someone saying they just used a sharpie paint pen on another thread.

Default Oh here we go

MODERATOR EDIT - Ray20213 please exit this thread. Fine with giving a personal friend (you didn't make that clear in your post) a hard time, but there is no place on CL for the cursing, homophobic slur or continuing the drama.

Once upon a time I did this to my new Triumph TR-4 tires... I thought it looked great. Maybe it is just 'aging in place', but nowadays it does nothing for me.

If I was going to do it, I'd use one of these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Sharpie-W...35PP/203599976

Once I use duplicolor hot tires. It looked really great for couple weeks before fading away. If you want to keep the look, you will need to retouch them to make it always fresh.
