i have always been a fan of raised white letter tires, but mostly on 60s musclecars. as far as the newer stuff there seems to be something lacking. if the sidewall is too thin (which is the case with most newer street cars, setup for handling), it makes it look a little weird.

gotta have a tire like this on it! lol

Voted for like.
Mainly because they will look better longer than filling in the letters with paint.
And you can peel them off. I can see adding them for a car show or photo shoot then peeling them right off.

pretty much this...I think they have their place, looks great on a big meaty slick/drag tire/wheel setup...not so much on low profile rubber band tire and wheel combos.

there are a small handful of cars I've seen that I think it works well with the theme of the car but on most I think it draws attention to an area that doesnt warrant it

That's pretty much where I am on it. It has to blend with the overall look of car and not stand out on its own.

I like it on some stuff. I've had a whole bunch of old school cars. '67 Camaro, '67 Fastback Mustang, Superformance Cobra, '68 Torino GT, '70 Torino GT, etc. They ALL had white letter tires on them. When I got my 2014 Track Pack several months ago, it reminded me of my old '67 Fastback. Had to slap some rubber white letters on them! I think the ones I have are too big though. I had originally ordered 1" letters, but they sent me 1.5" and I didn't realize it until I had done two tires already.

Ditto on this^^. I like it on a drag setup, but on your "daily" wheels it just looks riced out.

Personally I'm waiting for this fad to come back so I can rock mine again.

overly large letters on skinny tires ain't my style but i think it can be done tastefully, on the right tire and the right size of letters, and at least do it on a some kinda race tire

less is more for me

here mine
done this 3 years ago

R888s on the front
MT 345/35/18 on the rear

Stick on letters on your tires are gender neutral.

Something an undercover ricer with a little more income would do.
