Real Billboards have a significant bulge on the sidewalls. It adds to the retro look. No radial would ever provide that level of detail.

As far as whether to stencil or not, to each his own.

The real ones and the Avons - hmmmmm? I don't see a difference...(bulge wise)

Verify your stenciling. The "A" in both GOODYEAR and EAGLE has three breaks in it, not one. You can even see that in the one pic you posted of real BB's.

It's all in the details.

[You may experience better adhesion using Plasti Dip. It has a good grip and will definitely flex with the tire. Its lasted years on my tires. Try some mineral spirits on the area to be painted to eliminate the oily surface.

The Plasti Dip lettering in this shot is 5 or 6 years old.

They look good (no peeling) for that long, not withstanding the typical yellowing that all white pigments develop (as Rodney previously stated). 5-6 years? I would have thought that your sidewalls would have ozone cracked substantially by now, thus necessitating a replacement?

Ranger paint will adhere with good prep. You just have to layer on with thin coats, as one won't cover.

Solid thread and I'm looking forward to learning more.
