I used threadwear as well on my gtr

 

If you have to choose I like the michelin one the best. Is this permanent or can you get tired of it?

 

Well I see that opinions here really diverge.

I intend to keep my street tires black and clean but tried playing with tire pens on my track tires as a way of spending some time together with my car as its hibernating in the garage now in the middle of Swedish winter.

I'll have to see how it looks when mounted on the car, but I think I like the look on the track. Looks race car.

 

tire letters belong on all season truck tires.... thats about it.

 

White, yellow, red, black. Thats what you're going for?

 

I'm going for what I consider to be a "race look" on my ContiForceContact track tires, and I associate a "race look" with a cascade of colors and patterns. When it comes to the palette I really don't mind an extra accent color on top of the black, white and red. Check the GT cars that run Nürburgring 24h for examples of what I mean (where every single car has tire lettering/ decoration by the way). And - when the Time Attack season starts I will also have number plates, driver name decals and window streamer so the clean look will be gone anyway.

And as I said, this is for the track only. For the street I keep my Michelin PS4S's black.

 

I don't know about that;

 

For the track I think it looks great. Just don't use them on the street, as you say you won't

 

 

My old man had the exact same tyres on his 1972 HQ Holden ute (308 - 5 litre - V8), same lettering, same size.
The grip was pretty woeful though, at least by modern standards.

 

If the tyre company pays for me to advertise their product then I will consider it. Up until that point no way am I going to give them a product endorsement/ advertisement

 

Not for me on any car.

 

www,tirestickerssa.co.za has a great choice of Tire Stickers

 

Hard to understand why anyone would want to advertise a French, German or Japanese tire on their very British Jaguar F-Type!!

 

Unadulterated butchery ... so,,,,, not a fan either.

 

I remember when thin white walls became white letter. Then it seems like in one day it became black walls and has stayed this way ever since.

 

True, but during that time, there was also more sidewall height than width of the tires.

 

I can understand being proud of your (F-Type) car, but do not feel the same way about my tires.
They are just functional components of the whole, a bit like a cat converter!!
Plus nobody is paying me to advertise Michelins or Pirellis.

 

No offense intended to those that like the lettering, but I’ll leave that cosmetic mod. to the Mustang and Corvette owners out there. The F-Type seems a bit too refined for that sort of a thing.

 

Popping in on an old thread.

Despite popular opinion, I had my tires shaved and lettering done. I like it. Gives it a racing feel to a classic looking car.

Just so ya know - nobody paid me to do this.
