I tried the Duplacolor paint pen a week after I got mine. It looked good, but will only last about 2 weeks.Hopefully by the time I need new tires there will be some w/raised white letters in 18".
Here's a photo from then.

i think they would look great, but not like those khumos where they are only on one half, maybe some BFGoodrich Radia T/As like I have on my 65...problem is they are only rated at like 120 mph...[&:] i can verify that they will last going over that but still ...

+1 I agree, The tires are too short for white letters. Looks like the fine print at the bottom of a contract!

Back in the day auto parts stores sold letting sticks that you could get in white or silver. It would last a very long time along as you did not rub the sidewall on a curb.

I like the look. But I also agree that it looks better with bigger bolder lettering, thats usually only found on treads with larger sidewalls. The nice thing about this is that since it wears off, if your not sure about the look you can try it and if you dont like it...well its only temporary. I might try this.

I like these.

More subtle and balanced.

And a US brand...

A little too old school for me. Oh, I have them on my 4x4 but that's as far as I go.
