So when i watch the Rolex Series and LeMans and whatnot, they have performance tires with white or yellow writing on the side usually saying, "CONTINENTAL." I've looked around TireRack.com and i'm looking to get some high performance tires but i'd like the kind with white lettering.
The only ones on TireRack are for motorcycles, Mickey Thompson ones, or touring radials.
Anyone know where to get some nice semi-slicks or aggressive summer radials w/ the white or yellow lettering?
Go to one of those races and buy their cast-off tires.
Buy black tires and and a white or yellow paint marker.
Any ideas that don't involve traveling around the country to these events?

This. There are even a couple advertisers in GRM that sell tire markers.
In reply to Sky_Render:
Oh okay. Just normal tires but color in the text? That seems pretty simple. My work place sells white tire markers.
are these tire markers any good these days? I remembered i tried something to that effect maybe 10 years ago, it looked like E36 M3 and turned brown, flaked off, etc.....the one i tried seemed to work more like a piece of chalk. jc whitney junk.
If they work now then I'd probably buy a few.

Yes.
BFG Radial T/A's, although they may not have the kind of performance you are looking for. Hoosier Street TD's have writing, but are kind of geared towards drag racing. Or you could buy a set of Goodyear race tires.. but they're expensive and don't last long.
Yah, the Hoosier DOT drag radials on my RX-7 have "Hoosier" written in purty white letters on the sidewall. I run them to the strip and back, but not sure I'd call them "street" tires.

So you are saying they are guilty of inpersonating street tires?

I'm not sure I would jump to the conclusion that they are "guilty", especially of a charge as serious as impersonating street tires. It would be up to a jury to decide.
But they do have nice lettering on the side.

So just to make sure I'm clear on this, a tire is deserving of the judgement of a jury, but a person is not? Or is it just that the conclusion of the jury can arbitrarily be ignored in favor of a personal opinion? Would that be the same for the tire as the girl?? Just asking.
