white letters on tires

so Ive been wanting to try this for some time and finally got around to it. Only finished one tire to get an idea. Thoughts? Keep it as is, color the words opposite of the nitto nt555 which are "extreme zr", or take it off?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes this look. How did you do them?

I like white letters. It might be a little more balanced to go ahead and do the opposite side of the tire.

Depends on the pen, how you apply them and the environment your car ends up going thru. I'd say you would need to redo them evey month or do

I love it, but I'd do the opposite sides as well. Better visual balance that way.

If i did just nitto i think it would be too tiny. Especially since it doesn't say nitto opposite of it. Like Advan or Yokohama does.
