I remember when I was a teenager Goodyear Firestone BFGoodrich all the big tire companies did that to there tire.they came with a white wall or white lettering that's how they were purchase .I t's sad to see that customers have to buy aftermarket products to make your tires look better it should be up to the tire company to offer that as an option my opinion anyways

Lovin the simplicity of installation
This is a thorough and well explained video.Any decal work large or small can be a kick in the head sometimes and a video like this shows proper technique and patience.I’m ready to apply a black NISSAN decal over top of original raised letters grayish white decal on a 94 d21 and I wish you could walk me through that.Guy at the shop wants 25.00 to due it and I know it’s not a lot but 6 letters on a tailgate should be done by the truck owner lol. Great
I just finished mine; they look great-and so I have a few tips: 1)-when they say you’ll run out of adhesive/AND if you have allot of stickers-make sure to conserve adhesive; there’s allot of trouble spots to touch up and you’ll need that extra adhesive, also 2)-when they say apply pressure for 30 seconds; I think they meant 30 minutes??? Bottom line is: rubber cement is messy and doesn’t set fast like crazy glue-after pressure for 30 seconds everything like pulls away; I recommend fashioning clamps to apply pressure and clamping for thirty minutes at least-(I used shoelaces and small paperback books, and tied them down to apply even pressure for 30 minutes at least. Lastly: this is a very messy job for the average handyman; people who have experience with crafts and rubber cement might do a better and/or great job; but otherwise prepare yourself for daylong-(take your time) messy rubber cement work, use clamps, and conserve your adhesive-you’ll need it for any trouble spots

They offer installation but it’s $200 and I’m like man I wish I was rich enough to blow $200 purely out of laziness
Sanding down the rubber to have an even finish, then cleaning the surface will help a lot. But we need to keep in mind how strong the sidewall of the tires are. For example I have both Federal 595 Super Steel Tires and Pirelli P Zero Run Flat. On the Federal 595 the letters came off after a few months. And on the Pirelli P Zero Run Flats they holding on just minor discoloration due to tire shiners but u can revive it with the tire markers. Also i have tried many adhesives. Such as rubber cement crazy glue gel, rubber adhesives, gorila glue gel, locktite super weld gel, and I will try contact cement now. Too see wich one holds the most. But in emphasis the stronger the your tire sidewall the more they will last.
Just finished installing on my Vette. Love it.

You do need to sand down the tires a little before installing the letters ??
I've found that it's best to install the letters OFF CAR! The pressure application is best with body weight gravity. I've applied them on-car, elevated, and at ground level. Applying on-car is possible, but it definitely takes more time to apply even spacing across the tire. Trust me, off car, clean REALLY GOOD, cut off the rubber tire nips making sure to start with a smooth surface, use THEIR ADHESIVE, (creating an outline then filling the inners, not using too much) apply to the tire and lean into your press (hold for 30 seconds), and continue application. I've done this about a dozen times now, including removal and reapplication. After a few applications, you'll get the swing of it. 😉

I've put tire lettering on many tires and I'll share some tips to help some of you out... 1) buy an extra tube of gorilla super glue cause you will run out. 2) make sure to cover ALL the edges with glue 3) tire lettering will last a lot longer and stay looking a lot nicer if you position lettering closer to rim rather then towards the top of the tire. 4) never put tire shine on tires cause it will stain the lettering.

That's correct. Unlike other vids I've seen, it's local cleaning affecting the application site only. DO NOT use the strongest cleaner either. You want to remove the oils slowly where you're scrubbing from only. The embedded oil in the tire is added in the production of the tire to prevent premature aging from UV and road salts due to dry rotting. If you want to be even more select where the cleaner goes, mask off around the letters with duct tape. Once the lettering is applied, the tape can be pulled off and GooGone can be used to remove the tape residue without effecting the lettering.

Thanks for your feedback, though slightly inaccurate. The acetone will clean off the surface oil to assist with the bonding of the rubber decals. This is a standard practice in the industry, used by the tire companies and retreaders themselves. Yes, if you soak a tire in acetone that is bad for the tire, but a simply rag and prep will not cause any damage to the tire.
I love these. They really transform the look of the car. I want some for my S550 Mustang. Ford Performance would look good. 👍

Tire Sticker Review: Cleaning the tire until the rag is clean is very tedious. Make sure you cut off the "whiskers" that are part of the tire molding process. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on this. I would allow the glue to set overnight before driving. I waited 2 hours, but after driving a lot of letters peeled off. Edge sealing is the worst part. It takes a long time I jacked up the car in order to spin the tires to get the glue to flow by gravity. I question the glue is the best type since I had problems. It seems more like super glue. I thought it would be good to use

For prep of the tire, use acetone and our Touch Up cleaner is a custom cleaner that will not damage the rubber over time.
