Wow!
You went from classy to white trashy, all with in a couple of brush strokes. The badges I don't mind...
Sorry man - not my thing - to each his own tho.

It looks better than I expected it would when I read the subject line. I used to have BFG Radial TA's with the raised white lettering, I think at the time it was a good look but the trend for tires has taken it in a new direction.

Again I think it looks better than I expected. I won't be doing it on mine but it looks decent.

I like it, but I agree it's lop-sided only on one side of the tire.

Actually, I think it looks pretty damn good, with one exception. Kumho lettering is only on a small portion of the tire. The original white letters went most of the way around the tire. I think it may look a little better if you highlighted other areas to make it look like more of a continuous circle.

Other than that, it is a little funny seeing an asian sounding word like "Kumho" sticking out on the side of an american muscle car. But aside from the odd cultural difference, I think it looks great.

Perhaps you could paint some extra words either side like "Lassie" Kumho "me" to make it sound more American. LOL.

Tires

Doesn't look all that bad, but I agree you need some "white" across from the name. Not my cup of tea, but not bad. Now, if they made 18" to fit my fanblades with red walls---Hmm!

You need more of it, like the tire size on the other side. It looks kind of lop-sided.

I'm not sure if I would want Kumho to pop like that, but I like the idea. As for the badges, do what you want, it's your car. I don't think you are trying to fool anybody anyway.

How do you like those tires?

How many miles do you have on them and are they good for daily driving year around? Thanks

Only about 1500 miles on them...great tires, great quality, great price. These tires are also pretty good in the wet. They are ultra performance tires and can only be used above freezing temperatures so year round driving is out.

Anyone else find it ironic that HEAVYGT has a snake next to his name as an avatar?
