Blackout white lettering

Anyone know a good way to blackout the white lettering on a tire?

I would have your tires reversed! Put the white lettering inside, and black side out. Road grime eventually covers up the white letters and no one can tell. You can use a black grease pencil on the letters, and it will speed up the process.

You could paint the white letters if you want the white letters on the outside. You have to be careful though, if you ever rub against a curb, it will scratch right off.

Have them re-installed the opposite way.

Yep either flip 'em around or paint 'em. If I recall the lettering isn't painted it's part of the tire, so like rednoved said the paint will scrape right back off if you rub it on anything.

Yeah, I knew I could flip them, but I just wanted to see if there was another easier way and just actualy black them out.

I will try the grease or something.

Thanks
