General tips

• For best results, tyre lettering needs to be installed in the upright position.

• In the case of a logo / graphic use masking tape and apply the graphic temporarily in the

centre and start sticking letters from right to left, remove masking tape after the 1st

letter is glued on.

• Inspect your tyre and decide where you want the letters to go – select the smoothest

section to apply your letters.

• Look for an existing line on your sidewall and use it as a guide.

• Do the top section first, Ensure letter orientation is correct – each letter curves / leans

to the right

• Do not install at night or if you have to – ensure you are in an enclosed space and the

temperature is not below 10 degrees

Installation instructions

1. Clean your tyre sidewall with a strong degreaser thoroughly and let dry. (KleenGreen

or engine cleaner works).

Use a scrubbing brush first in the up and down and left to right, then wipe away residue with

a cloth. Repeat this step up to 6 times depending on the silicone residue buildup, and

continue until the rag comes away clean with no new residue/black marks.

2. Then use 150grt sandpaper to smooth the area you are going to use.

3. Now use acetone or rubbing alcohol to clean all residue off the tyre. THIS PROCESS

ABOVE IS REQUIRED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION

4. Cut any tyre nibs found sticking out along the tyre wall with a blade or simply remove

by han

5. Find the center of the tyre and make a mark. This is where your first letter will go.

Clean the back of the letter now – just a wipe with your cleaning solution.

6. Apply glue to the outline of the rubber letter, then fill in letter thinly and evenly

distributing the glue. It needs a thin, even coat.

7. Hover the letter above the position its to be placed – Apply the letter, add pressure

and let glue set for 10-15 seconds rubbing from center to outside of letter to remove

any air bubbles.

8. Let set for one hour for proper adhesion. You can move onto another tyre and

repeat.

NB: CHECK THAT THE CORNERS OF EACH LETTER IS GLUED PROPERLY – IF NOT JUST

PUT A DOT ON THE CORNER AND APPLY PRESSURE FOR A FEW SECONDS. DO NOT

CLEAN WITH BLEACH AND DO NOT APPLY ANY TYRE DRESSING

THIS IS AN AFTER MARKET PRODUCT AND REQUIRES SOME MAINTANANCE – SO CHECK

YOUR LETTERS EVERY NOW AND AGAIN AND ADD GLUE AS REQUIRED. ESPECIALLY

AFTER YOUR FIRST DRIVE.
