I've recently noticed a lot of cars at the shows with what I first thought simply had the letters painted white, then realized that all the letters were nowhere near that huge on the original tires. I remember when manufacturers quit embedding white rubber into the the letters on tires and everybody who still wanted white lettering would just buy a tire marker and paint the letters white. It looked fine for about a couple of days and would quickly turn brown from the heat and dirt.
So I was sitting on the couch, sulking because I had gapped the plugs in my '13 wrong and had to go through the whole process of retuning for e85, when I decided to research this whole new tire letter fad.
Decals. I was actually kind of amused. They're just thick vinyl and rubber tiles attached with what is no more or less regular old rubber cement.
At first, I thought it was a little "over the top" as the letters are typically in huge proportions and kind of "ricey". But, they have grown on me a little bit. While I wouldn't put them on my own vehicle, I have started to enjoy seeing other cars at the shows with them.
Would you or have you put tire letter decals on your ride?
