I quite like white lettering, but you have to have good tyres. My mate drives a Transit with "Matador" in white lettering on the tyres  :grin:

My pirelli tyres got this treatment, just used one of the pen's off ebay. Worked very well. Also work well for marking out metal for cutting and various other workshop duties.
