Michelin Tire Letters. What You Think?

Heres my stock 18"s 513M powder coated satin black with 15/12 spacers and lowered on H&R Sport springs. sitting on 255/40 275/40 Michelin PSS tires with white tire letters. What do you all think about the tire letters?

hi,

Not a fan to honest. Feels like NASCAR look to me.
But this is my taste since you are asking.

Without the white letters on your car, it would be fabulous. Very nice stealthy and aggressive look at the same time.

Also, the detailing of your car is phenomenal. Like a black mirror

I think the letters are too large. I also think they look better when the car has more exterior mods.

Honest opinion......absolutely hideous. The ///M car is way too classy for that. You need to get a Challenger if you want that look.

I'm personally not a big fan of the lettering on tyres, but dude - it's your car! If you like it, you should do it.

IMO. If it's a NASCAR homologation special then I'd go for that look. As it's not then no.

I've gone back and forth on this myself. I like the look but wasnt sure an M4 is the right car I think your car looks great, especially the detail. It's obvious you're a seasoned detailer. The letters are a matter of personal taste. Your car doesn't look ridiculous, so if the letters are your thing, more power to ya. It shouldn't matter what others think.

Not a fan. Like others have said if your car was heavily modded, slammed, widebodied then maybe. But on these cars with little mods no thanks. Leave the badges for the JDM and muscle cars.

Not bad, it suits a black car well. Maybe a different font though?

A wife-beater t-shirt and an NRA bumper sticker will complete the look.

Why is there a sheriff's car parked on the grass across the street from you?
