raised white lettered tires on XLCR
Okay, this is my second post and I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand time but a lot of my features don't seem to be working, like search...
Q: Since I'm trying to restore my XLCR what kind of raised white lettered tires are you guys putting on? Even if I found some old Eagles I'd be afraid to ride on them because of their age

There is a company that makes glue on letters in the correct font for many tire mfgs. There is a link on challenger talk forum or challengerforumz. I don't have the info at hand but you should be able to start your search there.

Yep, The Good Year Eagles were definitely right at home on the XLCR ... I agree that you'd probably find some "may pops" somewhere, and I sure wouldn't trust them for more than a "display" tire. Good Luck with your project. I always thought the XLCR was a great looking scooter.

i used a red paint pen that i got from summit racing. it takes a pretty long time to paint them correctly. but it looks really good when you finish. i tried to upload a photo but for some reason it will not attach. u can see an up close pic on my profile. i have washed them several times and they are showing any fade yet. the paint pens are only about $5 each and you will need 4 or 5 to get a good coat. if you do paint them; do one coat completely and let it dry before starting the next one

Thanks for the tips guys, I did buy a few from ebay. So I guess there just isn't a pair of 18 rears and 19 fronts with the raised letters on the market? Don't get it, guys wil do almost anything to dress up their machine. I think a thin red-wall would look really cool.

I'm sure coker tires will have something. They make a bunch of throwback tires. Bias ply and all. Good luck, love those XLCR's.
