Painting tyre words. Chav or not?
Hi. Just got my beloved 888s and have just finished cuddling them! Was contemplating painting the words on the tyres with tyre paint. Is that chav or
is it ok?

Did it with my Kumho V70As and I'm in two minds whether its chav or not - it certainly took a LOT longer than I was expecting.
I think its probably ok on really serious rubber like R888s, AO48s, V70s etc, but on ordinary tyres its probably a bit chav.

What word would you prefer?
Or is it the sentiment that's the problem.
You certainly need *a* word to describe a certain subgroup of the population!
Cheers,
James

I think painting the words is a bit chavtacular myself, the way I gauge it is what would it look like on a 106, if in doubt say no!

'chav'?
'chav'?
'chav'?
no. they're not
'chav'?
yes. yes they are
i just don't see why anything to do with modifying a car is considered 'chav'
remember a while ago someone on here was considering a twin headlight conversion, and it was deemed 'chav' it just annoys me that this
word gets banded about for anything
white lettering on tyres, or twin headlights are not "a certain subgroup of the population"

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

blakep, good point well made I suppose my fear is that I will regress and be seen as one of those boy racers! Mid life crisis is probably beckoning!

All well and good if its a race car and you are being supplied tyre as part of your deal with the tyre company then great E.G F1 or NASCAR. If its
your own car and no one is paying for you to advertise there tyres then you must be nuts!!! or a chav. You choose. But thats just my opinion.
