If you are doing the raised white-lettering on the tires, do both sides of the tire as they need "balance" in the look (as in three o'clock and nine o'clock positions). That'* if there'* anything to paint in.

yeah, that was a big diilema i had to think about for a while, but if the stuff only lasts two weeks them im definitely not gunna do both sides
