Tire Stickers looks like a good source of custom lettering.

wolf k: for the blue stripe, did you send a tracing or did you provide a set of dimensions (diameter, width etc)? If so, would you be willing to share the dimensions you used?

Were the dimensions unique to your tire size, or were the dimensions per the vintage tire size?

I am shooting for the original Blue Dot street tire look of the 427 Cobras and I have the "blue dots" available.

Cheers

The blue stripe is an "off the shelf " product from Tire Stickers. You have several choices of width, I selected the narrowest at 1/4 inch. They come in four segments per tire. For the diameter, I simply followed a line that was molded in my Mastercraft tires. I believe the original blue streaks had the blue line more in the middle of the tire than were I placed mine.
