I like the white lettering but it's definitely a matter of taste. 

Agreed.. I see it from some angles, and then others a I’m not sure. Plus it sort of limits my options of getting only Michelin tires soon 🙂

Keep it!!! I'm a big fan of lettered tires... They're the latest craze

Here’s a really bad photoshop I did to black out the letters on the tires:

sorry it’s so crude. Here’s an actual photo of it not messed with:

I dunno. Hard to say  

I sense you are leaning toward losing the white lettering based on your enthusiasm following the PhotoShop test.  Yeah.. I'm same. If you don't pass the PhotoShop test with 100% score... I would lose white lettering. 

Funny thing is I'm a huge fan of white lettering but it always needs something on the car to complement or it sticks out like a sore thumb sometimes. I'll have to vote on the all black tires....... this time... 😩 

Makes sense. Previous owner had these wheels/tires on his all snowflake white so it matched. I think they are superglued on. I wonder if anyone would want them.  Owner told me they were a real pain to do. 

Always a fan of raised white lettering. I tend to associate them with muscle cars, though, like Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, etc. Miatas, not so much.

Any thoughts on a red pinstriped tire?

@fredm ... Aaaaaah! You just pulled me back in. Painting the letters RED would be real badass! Yeah... that would definitely work.. 🤗 🤗 😎 

Hmmm. Interesting idea. I hadn’t thought of that. I wonder what kind of paint to use, or how to do it so it doesn’t wear off. Or if it would look good

@stormnd2club As far as pen goes, it is hit-or-miss. Nothing guaranteed. I've had varying degrees of success with following:

1. Type S Accessories Red Tire Marker at your local AutoZone

2. Milwaukee Electric Tools Paint Marker, Red (48-22-3741)

As always prep work is key:

1. I would remove wheel and work one tire at a time

2. Clean letter with Windex + Vinegar. Follow that up with alcohol wipe

3. Paint the letters

4. Install back on car

If you have not done so already, ensure it passes your Photoshop taste test with a great score. See a quick mock up in the attachment. It may or not be worth the effort.

Cool thanks! I will look into something like that. Once I finally get tires!
