Tire Lettering - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I use an oil based paint pen for rubber you can get at craft stores. This is the best pic I have right now.

The lettering on the stock tires is to small to do this IMO.

Just dont do it!!

Do what you want. It's your car. I ordered mine from tredwear. My new tires should be here this weekend so I get to put them on in mint condition. Tried the oil pen idea last year and the car looked awesome, sadly the pen didn't last and wore off quickly. FYI. Mine is lowered 2 inches with a few go faster bits put on. Will post pics in April when the car is complete and out of storage.

I agree. I was that kid [17] who put racing stripes on his first car =

Like others have said, I wouldn't recommend it on stock wheels/tires and stock height. I would suggest at least a 20mm drop and a meaty wheel/tire setup.

So he shouldn't listen to the naysayers even though he asked for everyone's opinion?

I mean, if you dig something, then cool. If you don't want to hear the "haters", then don't post asking for open opinions. It's akin to posting a picture of your girl/boyfriend or husband/wife and asking if they're attractive. If they aren't, I'm going to be brutally honest.

Welcome to posting, kid98 .........

That gives me an idea ....... we could have a whole section on "things we did to cars when we were young" ......

(no, I'm NOT going to start it ...... brings back too many "back-in-the-day stories") .......

Got mine from tyrestickers.com just glued straight on, word of warning though, if you run a ridiculously aggressive wheel/tyre setup like this the wont last long

One could argue he didn't ask whether or not he should do it, but what word/phrase/lettering he should put on the tires. It seems OP is pretty set on going forward with this mod and was simply inquiring for any creative ideas to consider.
