rtbiscuit Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just came back to me today, while i was in france i saw a pug with Pirelli tyres on, but the pirelli was in white writing, just wondered if anyone new how to do this, or if its something you buy, or if the tyres come from the manufacturer like that?

andymc Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Don't believe they would come 'as standard' like that ... but you could use something like tipex (maybe) to paint in the standard logo ... or make a stencil and spray it with white paint - like they do on F1 tyres...

austin350z Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 no, no and no please don't it will look $h1T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 That's the point I was trying to make. I think it looked ok on a old escort that I tries to make look like a rally car with forest arch kit and 3 colour paint job back in 1990. Would not dream of doing it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I use a tyre pen on my sets of track tyres so that I can quickly at a glance know which ones go where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I used to have a big black monster wide jeep with wheels like that on - the writing was actually white though, it suited the vehicle at the time but it was still a pile of crap!

BulletMagnet Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 If you do that then I'll come round at night and draw over it with a black marker. It will look @*!# with White lettering on the tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathfinder123 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My rear Stones are a bit light on tread, so I use a black felt tip pen to improve the pattern. It works alright until I go out in the rain... S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
