NO matter how many times you ask the question about Billboards there will always be dialogue. Last year I tried a set of Billboards. As previously stated, the paint is sprayed on by employees who don't give a damn about where the letters are sprayed on the tire and are usually significantly scuffed up from shipping. The compound is real sticky and soft so they throw anything and everything from a grain of sand up to a small pebble all over the paint finish of your beautiful car. They wander terribly on uneven pavement and their lifespan is very short on the road due to the soft compound. They drive terrible and many times require tweaking the suspension and alignment to get them to behave properly on the street. They are not DOT so if a trooper stops you and wants to be a real nitpicker he can and will ticket you for having non-approved parts on your vehicle. All that said, they still look WAY cool. If your car is a trailer queen, go for it. If your car is a driver, think twice. Although I wouldn't do it, the stencil set could be a good alternative especially if you have already chosen a nice set of Goodyear radial tires for your ride. Myself, I chose a set of Cooper Cobra radial tires not only because I knew they ride and handle well but I liked the name COBRA already on them and the cost was more than reasonable. Just my $.02 worth.
