Michelin Style Tire Lettering Kit

Michelin-style tire lettering is the cleanest look in the performance world — the one you see on Porsche 911s, BMW M cars and Corvettes rolling into track days on Pilot Sport rubber. This kit recreates that factory-technical read with raised rubber letters cut to sit naturally on a low-profile sidewall.

Choosing your edition

The Classic wordmark is the safe, timeless pick and works on any Michelin sidewall. The Pilot Sport 4S and Cup 2 editions add the model designation underneath — the choice for owners who want the full motorsport spec callout. White reads factory; yellow pops hard against dark wheels and black brake calipers.

Sizing on a performance sidewall

PS4S and Cup 2 fitments usually run a 30–45 profile, which leaves a narrow sidewall band. Keep letter height modest — around 1“ — so the text sits centered between rim and tread without crowding. Proportion and spacing rules are covered in our Michelin sidewall style guide.

Keeping the matte finish

Raised rubber needs almost no upkeep: rinse with the rest of the wheel and wipe the letters monthly. Skip oil-based tire shine — it stains matte white over time. Full prep and gluing steps are in the installation guide.
