Question eBay Tire Lettering Kits - Yay or Nay?

Hi guys

What do you think of this kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TOYO-PROXES...2tpompG9OkBJLA
Any experiences with it?

Any other recommendations on tire lettering kits are welcomed.

Thanks.

25 bucks?! Heck these are only $9 and have more street cred.

"Hey man it looks like your caliper is loose and coming off?"
"No that's just the cover"
"Oh I didn't know Brembos had covers"
"Yeah, just the top of the line ones"
"Oh, cool bro "

Tire lettering is wack.

If you buy cool tires, their sidewalls already look neat.

i wouldnt use that kit, its heat on/iron on application. It will only last for 500-1000 according to the description. You want a kit that gets glued on. The biggest thing is making sure to prep the tire correctly

Makes me think of those iron on patches for your jacket when I was a kid in the 80's

Yeah I realised after looking at a few others. You get what you pay for. I'd rather go for a more expensive but longer lasting option.
