Default Add-on tire lettering, what do you think?

I've seen this on quite a few exotics and a few cars that they don't belong on.

Odd question I guess because many muscle cars had those raised white letter tires, years ago.

I guess modern cars are trying to capitalize on the retro trend.

I was looking at the lettering kits, but I think on my car there is enough going on, that plain blackwalls are better.

What do you guys think?
If you bought the new Pirelli's would you order them with the manufacturers coloured lettering kit?

Would you add glue on lettering to your black wall tires?

To each their own but I think it doesn't look good. It'll look like your trying to hard to be "current"with a trend.

I think it looks out of place on some cars but decent on others. The letters that are actually painted on aren't awful but the ones that are thick stickers aren't my cup of tea.

On some cars it looks good, but in most cases the Lettering Size doesn't fit the lower profile tire correctly which in my mind screws up the visual!

In my opinion only with old school rims does white lettering work
