raised white letter tires

[garyphantom222]

Sorry if there is a post on this already but I would like to know of any tire makers that have both front and back in raised white letters,am wanting them for my firebolt when I need new ones.

I made my own by using a light grit sand paper on the letters then applied clear nail polish and then used an enamel paint pen. Took a couple hours but it looked cool and held up well only needing a little touch up now and then.

i know michelin does, don't remember what model though.

start calling customer support directly of all the different manufacturers

And report back your findings

To do that, wouldn't they have to add a layer of "White" Rubber, in the carcass, added weight?

Thanks for info,will call customer support,don't know about trying to do any lettering myself, nobody on here wants to see the results of that.

I would paint them, if, big IF, I wanted them, might look cool,

I think way back in the 70's there were some white lettered tires. I have found that there is nothing cheap about motorcycling except maybe the fuel mileage. It is a surprise that more tire manufactureres don't do this. A way to separate you from your money, that is what is is all about. Even if you had to pay a premium for the letters, many would pay it.

Why not get a white tire paint pen? I've seen them in other colors, and then you could have the tire you want. I'm just asking the simple question because I don't understand the commotion.
