I reckon you need to keep in mind what brand of tyres you are putting the lettering on. Some of the weired stuff around these days from China and Korea could look a bit dumb.

Somehow, highlighting "Chomning Superdong" or "Mayrun Tomorrow" just doesn't seem right.

As soon as my current tyres, wear out, i'm going to put some proper white writing tyres on my car. No use pretending at this point, by colouring in the current words.

bring back white writing, its the coolest thing out! theres a red blown vk in my town with black 'ceptors and white writing on the sidewalls, looks absolutely awesome. its sitting flat so no front rake, so that was a bit dissapointing.

white writing on the sidewalls is the thing that dreams are made out of :D

those bf goodrich radial t/a tyres are the ones to get, no doubt about that. my old man had a set of them on his hg wagon back in the 80's, he reckoned they made you think your motor was a bit more grunty than before haha.

does that mean if i get white writing on the sidewalls, i need some db's?

HAH, i should, might be able to spin a tyre then!! :rofl2:

Doubt it, Lukes mate tried a pair at the Easternats on a 400 rwkw XR6-T and smashed his gearbox to bits very soon afterwards, claiming they were as/more sticky than his normal ET streeters :p

Dunno but they were more grippy than Eagers back in the day :p so they weren't too bad. One thing you can be sure of is that they will be better than RE92s
