I’ve always loved the look of white letter tires. I don’t understand why tire companies don’t make them in modern tire sizes. I never black out the white letters.
Just something I find funny nothing to do with the product or video. Tires used to come with white lettering and lines. Drivers used shoe polish and all kinds of things to color the lettering black to match the tires. Now that the whole industry went with black lettering that blends in with the tires there are vinyl lettering and products like this that now make the lettering on the tires white again. We always want what we don’t have.
its a trend...think fishermen hat in 2014, those jerselum 12s women wear now, beards, phones getting bigger rather than smaller, and well anything retro tbh.
That's incorrect. There have always been car people that PREFER white letter tires. Once those went away, it opened a market for those folks so that we could get that classic muscle car look again. If somebody would manufacturer white letter tires in modern tire sizes, I'd be totally down with buying a set...but they don't.
I see where Pirelli is actually bringing back the option to have the lettering colored. And they look damned good!! Thanks for the video, by the way...excellent job!
Haha , do it ! You'll never stop after the first 2-3 months because at that time you will see the first results 😆 split your muscle groups in 5 days a week Monday to Friday by example , Good luck 🤙
Here is a tip. Don’t do what I did!!! Paint your tires AFTER they are mounted and inflated. I did mine before they were mounted and after they were mounted and inflated there were a ton of small cracks due to the tire expanding when inflated, I didn’t think about that when I painted them. I had to go over them 2 more times to fill in all the cracks…..live and learn!!!! (they still look super cool though!!!!)
Just a tip, I work with firestone roofing and naptha gas/camp fuel is a better product to clean the tire rubber with than acetone. Other than that great work and it looks good
Ive been using these for years. I actually made a stencil of my toyotires lettering and just Plasti spray them on. I go through 5 pairs of tires per year just on my Mazda so saying it's helpful is an understatement.
this video helped a ton. especially helped me understand needing multiple layers. I finished my first layer and was like "oh God" but that makes sense now
I don't understand why tire manufactures stopped making white letter tires as an option. Back in the day you were not cool unless you had white lettered tires on your hotrod. I do realize white lettered tires are not for every car/truck but they do look great on certain vehicles. It's matter of preference.
On my paint pen lid, there is a little pot you can take off to use to prime and fill with a little paint from the pen, to then dip the nib into from time to time, very easy not to notice it though. I've not used mine yet, just watching to see how easy it is to apply.
Well, I actually did 3 sets of tires (so 12 tires) with a single pen. The way I do it is to press the tip until the ink starts actually dripping out and with that I can just tap the latters so the ink can just distribute on its own - needs a bit of practise, but it's much faster and, gives better coverage and a smoother surface. Did use different pens (regular tire marking pens) .. sorry to say, but yours are really overprized - not sure if they are any different, but from the video the result looks exactly like mine when I first "painted" it with stroking. No offense.
Yes, I ordered the Dykem Brite-Mark medium tip. Used one pen for one set of tires and there's still some paint in there! Worked perfectly. Only $7. He way overprices them because he knows if he puts the word tire in there, others will think it's meant specifically for that went in fact it is not.
I love white lettering on tires. Had my bf Goodrich ats w white letters and they looked sick when clean, and it really changes the look of the whole vehicle. All black makes them look like every other tire
I have noticed that cars look better when their tires are full of snow or dust. I think it is because the lighter colour of the tire makes the wheels look larger and better proportioned. I would definitely buy grey/white tires for my car instead of going for way too large rims that ruin the ride comfort.
True. I spent a couple hours yesterday doing my Jeep tires with red paint. So much easier when the tires are off, my letters are raised and that helps too. I just can't find the type that bonds to rubber. Clearcoat will hopefully make them keep from fading sooner.
seropserop Agree, but the hankook text is flush w the tire sidewall, there is no border and it’s not raised up at all. Definitely a more difficult process. On these particular tires, what we did in the video was the best option for this first time user experience.
Man, you can color any part of The tire you want. Don’t have to follow what everyone else does. Be unique and different and express yourself in your style.
Of course it's a Subaru. I'm thinking about picking this up to recolor the "M/T" on my Mickey Thompson slicks. The factory paint always turns brown after a while from the rubber's oils seeping through. I cleaned off the old stuff and was considering leaving them black but that's just not right.
I used similar paint pens for raised letters on my windscreen washer fluid and coolant reservoir caps - he's right, it's much easier on raised letters - they came out looking great with only 2 coats.
I know this is from last year but it just popped up. These pens have been around for 20 years nothing new. Go to your local welding shop they will have all of the colors sitting on the shelf. When I drove Semi we did that on the truck tires all of the time to go along with the polished aluminum rims.
Hey , Bro . Dressing up the tyre like this makes the tyre look alot better. Awesome job mate. I have a Audi TT. And im Ordering a set of 4 P ZERO TYRES . And ill be doing the same. Thanx man for sharing . 👍.... Jay UK 🏴
honestly, it would have been better if you white lettered the Hankook part of the tire because I did it to my set of tires and they look great but it needs a little bit more patience to not make the ink drip onto the sidewall if the tire
@@pzorro2020 Lol, that's not true - not even close. Anyone who drives and owns a car, especially living in changeable conditions will tell you for a fact, cheap tyres don't perform. Even novice drivers (though maybe not morons) could tell you the massive difference between cheap tyres and worthwhile ones. You pay for what you get, cut no corners. Everything on your car communicates to the road through the tyres, they are THE most important aspect you should keep on top of, if you own a car.
i have to paint my letters about every 3 months but its worth it i get compliments all the time in my blacked out blue 2016 fusion , every day i get chargers mostly wanting to race me but as you all know fusions are 4 bangers but it looks like its fast! lol
Does it last. I was wondering if it would fade real quick on a daily driver in all weathers. Would it help to spray with some kind of clear coat after?
What about tire dehydration/aging of the sidewall using acetone? What would a tire friendly cleaner be.? One remembers the selling point of tire cleaners that do not dry the tire, like armorial long term harm?
I do that but I don't use any chemical on the sidewall of my tires.. I don't use tire shine I don't clean them with chemicals like that.. Dawn and water do wonders in the paint stays on just fine
No. These pens paint is not the best and the white starts turning brown weeks after application from just brake dust. Ive taken it off and applied it again with 5 coats and used tire shine and 4 days later the paint started turning a chocolate brown color. Id suggests just getting tire lettering that you install over your tire with glue. I know its a little more expensive but if you want the color to last for the life of the tires id spend the extra money.
I would like to see him doing lettering on the tyre while wearing them electric stimulators for the muscles. PS. you needed to paint letter in gold colour, it would match brake calliper
Good luck keeping the tires clean. I know many used these pens and after two washes they looked like crap. No paint pen is permanent. Clear coat is what keeps paint from fading, chipping and coming off. No clear coat made for tires. You can buy white letter tires still. If you can afford them.
Hey there, i do quite a bit of offroading and we have to drflate all the way upto 10Psi to keep our 4x4s from getting stuck or bogged down in the soft sand (desert offroading). I want to colour my tyre letters the same way but was wondering if i use plasti dip clear on top of the letters as a protective coat or multiple protective coats for that matter? Should that work or is it just gonna get scrubbed off by all the offroad driving ??
This would be a good way to let everyone know i have mismatch used tires.

I’ve always loved the look of white letter tires. I don’t understand why tire companies don’t make them in modern tire sizes. I never black out the white letters.
Bc it's more expensive
Therefore let’s let these pen , paint and stickers businesses make money. Because sharing the profits is fun !
I agree seems like they still offer raised white letters in 15" tire sizes they need to offer them in other sizes as well.
not enough room on the tire to do them plus it went out of style i guess
I agree !
Just something I find funny nothing to do with the product or video. Tires used to come with white lettering and lines.

They Should Give You The Option
We always want to be "unique." No need to be a negative nancy.
The white lettering was only on one side. The tire installer would ask you if you wanted the white showing or not. No need for shoe polish.
its a trend...think fishermen hat in 2014, those jerselum 12s women wear now, beards, phones getting bigger rather than smaller, and well anything retro tbh.

Finally! I've been watching videos on painting tire letters in the past but they all don't seem to match up to the quality in this product and result.
Best to take the tyres off, so the pen is facing down & paint flows better.
