Raised white lettering has been a cosmetic addition to vehicles for many, many years. Not ricer at all. However some cars/tires/wheels look good with it and some don't.

Here's my brother touching up the stock white lettering on the tires of his Triumph back in 1968. Used a q-tip to apply the paint.

painting the raised letters that are molded to the tire is not rice...adding stickers to the tires, that may or may not match the tire manufacturer, is most definitely rice. If you can't see the difference, I can't help you.

OK, that I agree with. Maybe I wasn't understanding the original question.

I like many feel it depends on the vehicle and the font on the tire.

I’d give it a whirl and see what you think of it. You don’t like it just remove them.

Where did I say I can't tell the difference? I never mentioned anything about adding stickers to a tire?
