Will they stick to all tire compounds - rubber / urethane / silicone?

Agree, they look great on your jalopy and the Indy car.

Well, they already look better than any of the tire decals I have tried. Not to mention they appear to have a nice realistic flat finish.

They do look great. Have to say you were right on about the INDY car, really pops and finishes it off nicely.

Our Tiny Alice Trans-Am proxy ARR had Pattos water-slide decals applied on the front rubbers and back urethanes. After the decals were good and dry, we applied Mod Podge® Matte purchased at Michaels. I think it looks great and holds up pretty darn well.

I always put tire decals on my race car. It just adds that extra bit of detail. Once I've applied the decal and let it dry, I brush on some Future over the decal to protect it. Works well.
