Very smart, but they're far too clean and crisp for my liking I'm afraid. I also struggle with the idea of putting Goodyear lettering on Avon tyres. 
Avon is a perfectly credible and acceptable brand and they were used in period, so I'm happy to have AVON on my Avon tyres.

If you do not like putting 'Goodyear' lettering, it sounds like Tredwear will do custom lettering or graphics. Still seems easier going this route than a stencil and paint. |

As I said, far to clean and crisp for what I'm after. I want them to get scuffed and faded over time.

Have heard you can use white Plastidip spray too. Apparently, it stays on for years.
I have a Roland vinyl cutter at work so when the time comes, I will design and cut a template complete with distress marks to afford that worn look.
How much was it to buy the set of Avons?

Avons
I used the Tred letters. I tried Plasticdip spray and it stayed on about 2 short drives even though I prepped the tires with mineral spirits and cleaning pads. I got my Avons packaged with my wheel purchase from Vintage.
The GT 40 is beautiful!

I paid £1,200 (around $1,900) fitted and balanced, but I'm a little closer to where they're made.
That was from a company called BMTR in Birmingham, UK. I don't know how much it would be to ship a set to you.

I don't care how good a tire is. $2350 for avons is a joke. Or for any tire for that matter.

Some guys spend over $10k on a paint job -- that is a joke buddy!

I do for the paint on, and AVON too...
The Avon and Good Year are not just fonts these are artworks. Anyhow, I have done the work and these files are ready to cut on my vinyl cutter.

Well, I joined the club.
I have to redo the rear tires, because the stencil set I bought came with two sizes "front" and "rear" (bigger letters). All my tires have the same profile, and the smaller size fits better all around...
Nice project all in all. i like how the lettering adds a more racy look (a la GY "Billboards")
Cheers!

Now there you go! LOVE AVONS!
I used white flexible plastic primer in a spray can and a stencil I cut on sticky vinyl.

Grabbed the wrong pic.... this is what they look like now after the paint darkens. I refreshed the letters after I painted the wheels black.

Beautiful car, but I think Firestone's going to cut off your sponsorship
