Tredwear Tire Lettering

Did this yesterday and wanted to share in case somebody else is looking to do it. Made me wish I got Nittos instead of Bridgestone. Took me about 4 hours. I think if I did it again I could do it in under 2 hours. Started off trying to be too perfect and the way the letters are shaped it's not possible to be perfect. Plus from the distance most people view it, it looks good. Tires are 71R's 275/35 18. Lettering in 1"


BTW a few install tips or at least what ended up being faster for me. I started off using their "applicator" but realized it is faster just to put the glue on about 6 letters at a time then stick them to the tire by hand. The applicator works OK but it loses it's stickiness and the letters can fall off plus it just seemed easier to line them up letter by letter.


Night shot when I finished:

Looks good, especially on a white car. What product did you use?

Thank you. They are from Tredwear. Probably would have been more worth it on tires that last longer but I still like it. Seems to be a nice contrast between the black wheel and black tire.

Totally agree, the contrast with the black wheels on the white paint looks awesome!

Manufactures should offer it on stock tires for an extra charge.

Looks really great!

Looks good. OP who you buy your Jun mirrors from. I'm considering them over the APR ones.

Looks great! Can you please tell me how you got the 'Bridgestone' lettering? I tried to get the same, but do not see it listed on their web site...Thanks!
