Michelin Tire Letters. What You Think?

Professor///M · 03-03-2017, 09:24 PM

You need to like it not us. I think it looks terrible. Draws your eyes to the tires and makes you look like a driving advertisement. You may not like M stripes that I think look amazing. To each his own, it's your car you need to love it and live with it.

My opinion though is that if you have to come to a forum to verify your decision, then you have some remorse. Just my $0.02. Good luck with your decision.

I ran these back on my 335i. I wouldnt on a M3.

Mistertmac · 03-03-2017, 09:52 PM

100% No...

Was just wondering everyones opinion. I like it a lot and trust me I'm not gonna take them off because others don't like it.

but.... it does surprise me that a lot of people here don't like it.
people around my town seem to really love it. Ive received quite a bit of compliments on the tires already and I've only had them on a week.

M4CXG82 · 03-03-2017, 11:29 PM

I do think on my next set of tires I will order smaller letters . I went with 1.5" this time but next time I will go 1.25"

Tarzan · 03-13-2017, 03:22 PM

I would have used their 3/4" ones instead

Fast4d · 03-13-2017, 03:59 PM

Stands out way too much on a blacked out car.

SD ///M4 · 03-16-2017, 08:49 PM

Reminds me of Lightning McQueen. Which is to say...cartoonish.

9SECDD · 03-16-2017, 10:06 PM

I love black cars. Overall, looks great.

I like the idea of the white letters on the tires, but I do think they are too big. Would cut the size in half and make much more subtle.

Just my 2 cents, since you asked.

OP, like others have said, it is all a matter of personal preference. It's your car so do what you want with it!

I personally run tirestickers on my Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. It gives the car a bit more character and defiantly looks more unique. I do get quite a few compliments on them from other enthusiasts. However, I do agree that when the logos are too large in size on the tire, they tend to throw things off a bit. Below is an example of how they look on my car.

Looked equally as dumb on your 335.

Car shows and track/race events IF you are sponsored are the only times you can get away with this.

Glad you like em, that's all that matters.

I personally think they're fugly, a BMW is a classy/stealthy powerful monster, doesn't need to advertise any tires to look good. just my 2 cents

This looks a lot better here than the OP for whatever reason. For some reason this looks appropriate where the others look oversized and disproportionate. Maybe it's just the white car and angle.

It's honestly just the size of the tirestickers.

I was sponsored at the time. The tires were done the same time as the wrap. It was the "new" thing. I didn't mind.

Like others have said it doesn't matter if we like like it. If YOU like it then do it.

LeFort One · 03-19-2017, 03:10 PM

I think the tire stickers work if they aren't too big and the car is aggressive enough for them. The white M4 is the perfect example of how everything should come together, should you decide to put the stickers on.

At the end of the day, if you like them than that's all that matters!

DS_BMW · 03-20-2017, 03:06 PM

Oh my dude, just take them off.

But he actually asked "What do you all think about the tire letters?" So people are telling him what they think.

2kaccordocoupe · 03-27-2017, 04:49 PM

If the letters on the tires are the first thing you see when looking at the car it's not right.
You need way more mods to make the letters an accent vs the initial focal point.
