I think it depends on the tyre wall and the car. Some tyre walls look good with white writing. Most look crap. It'll look crap if the car looks crap, and it'll look crap if it's not kept in good condition. It'd look good on hot rods, and super cars. Not so sure about hatchbacks!

Personally, I've toyed with the idea of doing it.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Totally agree, i would just be doing it for a giggle for this summers goodwood FOS.

My tyres are Bridgestone Potenza RE070, side wall is pretty good.

I've been thinking about doing it for ages, growing up round trucks all the modded ones seem to do it but not sure if it would suit the golf. I see a vxr corse in blue the other week and they had the outline of the brand in white and the inside of the letters blue which looked quite good

While this thread is here, anyone know of any spray pain for tyres?

I want to stencil something on but dunno what to use?

I just want to do it because well why not. Might look sh*t but be a laugh!

You can buy the paint pens on amazon or ebay. You normally just colour in the tyre brand.

A Twisted Defender is probably the only time I'd be happy for writing on my tyres :-)
