Tire Lettering
Just wanted to get people's thoughts on tire lettering. I just purchased some Michelin Super Sports for my C450, and was thinking of putting decals on the tires.
Is the C450 more classified as a luxury sedan than a sports car, and do you think it would look out of place????

Thanks,

As you asked for opinions...


Personally I think it looks ****e... in the same vein as adding badges which are not aligned to the spec of the vehicle... I anticipate the proposal may attract similar derision... the cars look good enough without it..


But as its your car and I don't have to see it, do what makes you happy.. its your money and your not really hurting anyone else....

Since you asked, yes, it would look out of place. Imho of course.

Apparently, it's "neato".

Have to have supporting mods to make it work IMO.

Like a c63s with track focused mods, added aero, etc. could pull it off.

Otherwise, just keep it classy.
