      I'm looking for something that will, I want to turn my Firestone Destination A/T's on the Sierra into RWL's since it'd look a lot better than the half-assed outlined letters.

                My dad use to do the exact same thing to his tires, when I was a kid. He used some kind of special white crayon looking piece. Use to last for quite awhile.

                    A tire crayon? Those are used by tire shops for various reasons.

                        I have a buddy that does that on his tires on his jet. It seems to hold up fairly well of course our tires only last a couple weeks.

                            Dupli-color actually makes a paint marker specifically for this. Perhaps it'd hold up better. I know there is white, red and, yellow versions.

                            Personally, the only place that RWL tires belong, is in the trash.
