Why?
Go with AVON painted on tire. The Goodyear's have a ridge around writing however not often within the lines. Dave Bates did the AVON approach and it looked great!
If that does not work you can buy me Avon's and I will send you my Goodyear tires....

I was once of the idea that I had to have GOODYEAR on my tires. I went with HOOSIER & have been happy with the look. I'd be just as happy with AVON or GOODYEAR. Big White letters stand out, no matter what they say.

The Hoosier's look good, are those the the Pro-Street radials? 27x10.5R-15 at all four corners?

Hoosier TD
25.5x10 rears
25.5x8.5 front
I need to go taller on the rear next time. I was trying to cross reference the sizes for the best fit when I ordered them. I don't like the way the rears fit the fender

Avon
Hi ViperGuy,
I tried it....... I have AVON 245/295 x 15's on my Daytona, great tire.
I used the template from a company in Canada, great template etc...
Then used the correct rubber tire wall paint and it didn't work.. I used a brush
and it ran under the template. I think if you get the paint in a spray can it would work better. You really need to roughen up the sidewall and get all the silicon/sheen off.
I love the Goodyear Billboard tires, but they are not the best on the road/track and they are illegal in Australia

Searching these forums and the internet people seem to be getting the best results with "fabric pencils".
