I like it! Don't know if I'll do it yet, but I like it!

cool :).

B@t

i see that but i'm not gonna buy a full set if my front tires have half thread life left
i'm glad i didn't or else i'd be stuck with 4 v12 tires that i don't like

Why not?? My fronts had PLENTY of tread when my rears wore out. Im sure your car rides like poop with mixed tires. No bueno.

Yeah, the v12 isnt really a drift tire:ugh2:

no it feels the same, except now i can't feel the rear tires cause it has soft sidewalls

actually, its not that bad... lol I was expecting much worse.. lol

all i could say is do it do it. be different from all these fools.

Weather permitting, I'm whiting some letters this weekend!

white lettered tires
 

searched but couldn:t find any info. Has anyone ever put white lettered tires on their 370z. I;m not thinking about doing it just wondering about it? any pics? thanks:tiphat: p.s. do any tire co. make white lettered tires for the 370z?

I remember seen a red z with white letters I think his username is ccastro

I hope you are trolling instead of being serious. The OP painted his, but you can get tires with colored lettering. Check out the tire companies websites'. That would have taken less time than signing into the forum to post a question and wait for an answer, lol!

For anyone trying to do this, it requires more patience than I thought. Use the "slap tire pen" to white out your tires.

How long does this lettering last? anybody know??

Probably tired of it by evening.

? Lol

There are a couple companies that make tire stickers made of rubber. They have permanent/semi permanent options. You basically just glue the letters one-by-one to the sidewall. Any type of white lettering on your tires will eventually brown. Using the tire paint pens will brown much faster than using tire stickers. Paint pens may stay white a few days to a couple weeks, depending on how often you drive/how clean the road is you're driving on/how well you prepped the tire before application.

Here's my car at a track day this past spring. I had finished the rear tires the day before, and they had already turned brown from the surface I was driving on. The fronts stood up just fine.

I think it brought some style to the car![ATTACH]Attachment 107938[/ATTACH]

Thank you for the reply. I am trying to paint mine this color orange and I would like it to be permanent. I am not sure if this orange will turn a different color after awhile or not. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...611ef472f1.jpg

This is so early 1980's when the only thing flashy we had was white letter tires. LOL

Looks great! Hope the color stays....if not, check out that website "tread-wears", They may have colored letters. I have had mine on for about a year....no issues, no fading. They are a B*#&h to glue on though.

Wow! I think the lettering looks awesome.

It's a cool, relatively cheap mod that really makes the car stand out. And it looks really clean too.

Did those who did it just stencil the embedded letters in the tire or did you use a stencil you made yourself? Also, what paint/paint pens did you use and where did you get them.

Thanks!

Try TirePenz.com
just a little info since your a Z owner.

Speak for yourself.

I used to do this on my sport bikes, track bikes and one of my old cars. It works best on tires that aren't brand new. It will last a while on a DD depending on your driving habits. If you track your car it cuts paints life way down due to the heat cycling (white will turn light brown). Be prepared to spend a good amount of time applying it initially (2 coats for best results) and doing touch ups and upkeep. White is hardest color to keep looking fresh and clean.

I want orange lol, I'm honestly wanting to make this permanent on the tire but don't know if they make rubber paint or should the lettering work http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...74cafb8f9d.jpg

Any paint marker found at an arts and crafts store will work. It's semi permanent, in that you may have to touch up the paint after a few months depending on weather and road conditions sun fading or cracking the paint. Otherwise you should be good to go.
