A shot in the dark. Coincidently, the same day you posted the initial thread, someone started the same kind of thread on the Pantera Forum (replicating original Arrivas by Goodyear)...is that you too?

Nope. These take a lot of work to install. I would not want to be doing 2 sets at the same time. Ill post photos when the car is back on the ground.

I did it once and I said I would never do it again. It's very time-consuming. I did the white letter tires first but I wore the tires out.

Turns out I really liked the look so I ended up doing again. Developed a few tricks to make it a little faster. I used the laser line to mark the center lines. I've learned some things with the letter choice .

Those open split letters you chose have to be a nightmare..

You used a laser to line them up. Great idea. Yes, they take a long time and effort to do.

Updated to orange calipers!

Am I missing something? Where do you get these tire stickers? I just bought a new set of front and rear Bridgestones and it would be great to have them on the tires before I mount them.

https://www.tirestickers.com/ made a custom font . I believe it should be applied after the tire is mounted on the wheel. I would send them a photo of the tire with the lettering applied. When I first asked them to make the "custom font" they made it using the new GT font. Not period correct for the "old" GT's.
