Can you buy tyres with coloured markings on the sidewall?

allanmb · Oct 25, 2016

I came across this on the Top Gear site:
http://www.topgear.com/car-news/modified/800bhp-lamborghini-huracan-roof-box

Aside from the main article I noticed the Michelin tyres with red writing on the sidewall like F1 cars. Are there any out commercial tyres like this? I'm not saying I would necessarily buy them (I probably would ;-) ) but out of interest I'd like to know...

Im not sure if you can buy them like that but I know for sure you can buy tyre paint and mark your own tyres up

I think Pirelli have just bought the P Zero's out with the tyre wall writing on... I believe they could be limited to kwik-fit or one of the main tyre dealers though

Yeah, just Humbrol paint carefully applied. I'm 50/50 on it, love the look but is it a bit "BarryBoy?"

here is the link to Pirelli's twitter page that shows them

Works on a supercar, not on a hatchback.

Paradigital nailed it, on something special it adds to the drama, but on a hatchback you'll look like a bit of a numpty.
