White lettering on tires.... Ricer?

I was simply replying to the thread title about "White Lettering on Tires". You think I have time to read through all of the OP's posts in the thread!? LOL!

And that's why, perhaps, you're getting offended by my post. Sometimes it helps to understand the context of a thread...just sayin'

My ACR had them on the tires when I bought it...quickly replaced the tires.

I wouldn't mind you advertising for us but if they're specifically Toyo, they would have to be stickers or you paint them. They don't come from the factory like that.

No harm done and I'm far from offended. I was just adding some info about white lettering on tires and how its been a cosmetic mod practiced for many years. Whether you're painting stock raised white letter tires, or pulling a Cleetus Mcfarland and spray painting your sidewalls with "Goodyear", the practice has been around for a long time.

Ricer is like an R35 GTR in my town.
Chinese tires all around.
Huge white "TOYO R888" stickers on them.

At this point, 45 to 9 tells the story.

Stickers or not and I say not, can’t we get some amens to how beautiful 13COBRA ACR Viper is. Man that thing is sexy. Love every time you post a pic. Wish I had one.

I agree. There is no way I’d be able to drive that thing at legal speeds.

Pics but no commentary.

What did it run with the drag pack?

I’ll explain my reasoning through examples.


This lettering screams rice to me...

Just my humble opinion.

This.

The tire must have a sufficient sidewall for it to be acceptable.

The white letters actually accentuate that car imo.

Pretty much this. Tires are on, white lettering is not

lol, dude owns a GTR and cant afford good rubber? Ha

Depends. If it’s a legit car/build, then I think it could be ok. If you’re throwing them on a bolt-on car that will get walked on a regular basis, then I say no.

I saw an LS1 swapped RX7 which was well thought-out and built, clean as hell and had high dollar parts on it. It had the tire lettering on it and IMO it fit the car well.

Well, it is always nice to have that one car at the car show that provides comic relief.

No! Especially when it is not even the correct name of the tire.

Acceptability of white lettering has nothing to do with the type of car or what tire a guy is running. It's all about who is behind the wheel. If you're cool enough you can pull it off.

Ohhhhhhkay

Horse Shit. I'm not sure how to translate that to Canadian. Down here, we just call it horse shit.
