Yellow lettering as in NASCAR Goodyear tires? I would doubt that they are made in yellow for EMTs. Get a yellow paint pencil and paint the letters on your tires.

Might try something like a Magic Marker, or a Sharpie.

Why is everyone ******* this guy? It's a legitimate question. And for those uninformed, yellow letter tires can be had (although maybe not in sizes to fit the Vette). They came on my Monte Carlo from the factory.

Thanks Boss. I can't believe I started such a fuss with a simple question! I thought one guy would respond with something helpful like: "here you go man, click this link and enjoy your C6." But no I got the cry babies out in force
I know Pirelli does yellow lettering too because I've seen them on some Ferrari's. Just thought someone might know of some vendor that may specialize in this.

I have used a white marker in the past. I'm sure yellow is available as well. Let us know what you find out.

Your best bet woud be getting a paint pen from walmart or maybe a hobby shop.

I used to to it in white to my motorcycle tires.

It doesnt last very lond and you'll have to do it probably every week to keep it looking normal.

The only run flat at this time is Goodyear, but there are others in regular tires, checkout the tire section here or call a few in your area.

Ummm.... if availability of yellow raised letter tires for my brand new Corvette happened to be on constraint, then I reckon I could force myself to somehow go ahead and take delivery without 'em.

Get notified of new replies

Yellow letters?
