I’m just considering a set of Kumho Ecsta P91's as some of the reviews are really good on TireRack. What didn’t you like? And I’m betting it wasn’t the P91's as they’re new, but still.

Then you can’t put anything on your tires.

Just get stencils. Then you can put whatever you want on the sidewall.

One Lap of America does this. They used to require people to run one specific brand of tires (their sponsor, obviously). Participants complained due to lack of sizes in certain applications. now they just stencil the name of the tire sponsor on your sidewalls, regardless of what brand it is. So you might end up with Michelin stenciled on the sidewalls of your Toyo tires.

They make a couple oil paint based pens for tires, There is a chinese company and those worked wonderfully, then I tried Sharpie’s oild marker, the red turned to hot pink and wouldn’t come off for 4 months.... The Chinese markers, $6 for 4, sharpy $5 for one......

They make a paint pen that does this 10x faster if you have a steady hand. (i do, too much gaming)
