Modding Tire Sidewalls

addy126 · November 2nd, 2009, 04:44 PM

An idea I came across last nite on UTube where some are taking to modding their sidewalls. I actually like the "sporty" idea as my Jeep has the BFG's with the white lettering. Soooo I photoshop my rear wheel on the N-250 and search for your choice on the poll. Be kind this was all freehanded when you click for larger pic......

Nice photoshop job. Solid looks really nice

Reckon the solid text looks good, but how would one do this to their tire wall? Them paint pen things?

Yes, you can find tire lettering sticks at most auto stores.

I have always liked solid black walls.

White letters look like whitewalls when riding.

Thats what I used when I did my red one. They are used at work so I grabbed one for myself. I started to do it to my black ninja but didn't like it on the IRC's for some reason.

I never thought of doing that to the grooves in the tread. Good way to know when the tread is gone.
