Just saw this on an M3 board.

BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - Painted tire sidewalls just the letters.

He painted the PZERO lettering in red to match the car. Not my cup of tea but it's not bad, either.

May look cool but I wouldn't do it as it is free advertisement. It would be a bit different if I were to post a review of the tires but I will never outwardly display a companies name if I weren't being paid for it.

No refunds for painted tires! :bowrofl:


The Bimmer actually looks pretty good. It's neither better nor worse...just different. I think the color rather than white is helpful and less retro, stockcar-ish.

FWIW the stock cars are yellow (Goodyear) :icon17:. Though some of the other series that run a Hoosier tire are white.

The F1 cars were white (Bridgestone) but this year will be yellow (Pirelli).

But I agree about the M3. If done right it won't look bad at all. As long as the owner likes it. :tup:

so i finally decided to do it using a paint pen
you're supposed to do about 3 coats but i just rushed with 1 coating so it doesn't look as good as it should and i took it at night obviously with my iphone. let me know what you guys think

dude just what the hell did you use to take those pics? those made my iphone quality pictures look professional :stirthepot:

wdkwang 01-08-2012 11:13 PM

night time pics with my iphone just utterly blows for some reason. i actually made it "better" using this Camera+ app

Boost_lee 01-09-2012 12:16 AM

depends on the car and setup

I had them on my Mickey Thompson ET Streets and loved it

I don't think it looks bad- but the more "stock" a car is, the more it sticks out, imo.
