Tyre Tread Pens - Yes or No?

Post by HateSpawn »

Hiya people.

I have found these Tyre Tread Pens on the net and I am personally interested. I have ordered some already. I am wanting to know what people think of them. Someone else might want to buy some also. :)

Interesting, only place i'd consider using it would be a white pen on the sidewall to highlight the writing on the side of the tyre. I'd pass on using it on the tread though...

I did the STEALTH lettering on my shinkies. But wouldn't fill in the tread with it. Tyres are meant to look scuffed & balled up to the edges not like a birthday cake.

Yeah don't worry too much about the homophobes in here. Personally I don't think it looks gay. But my perception of gay could be a little stilted.......Fancy a shag????????? :wink:
