I have bought the treadwear kit but have not installed them yet. A few others have installed them and they look great. Search "Avons & Treadwear" and you should find the posts

How well do they go over the real lettering, so you don't get lines across the vinyl ?

Just sand down the nubs and thicker raised letters. Before gluing you can put them on the tire to see how they will lay. It's an easy process overall, just take your time.

I have a set of new Billboards from 7 years ago, but have never mounted them.

If,....their not usable (because of possible age dry rot) when I get the Cobra engine done, I will buy a set of the vinyl's Eagles, as they do look good.

I wanted billboards in a bad way but the lack of DOT and accelerated aging properties were just not acceptable. The Avons are superior and the billboard kit does exactly what it is supposed to do...looks awesome.

Here are some pics of my Tredwear letters. I sanded down the Cooper Cobra letters with a palm sander and 100 grit paper.

The pictures look like it covers them perfect. I actually like the dull look. Makes them look original to the 1960's.

No,

The 60's Goodyears were much smaller and did not use the "Eagle" brand. Why does everyone think this is a "vintage look" as it only dates to the mid 80's!
