Default Tire sizes

I was looking at a set of 1.9 stompers i got and was thinking it would be a nice scale feature to put a tire size on the side just like the real deal. Example 33x12.50x15 Just figure out what the tire is in scale size and mold it into the side wall. Any thoughts

I used a wood burner from hobby lobby to burn the tire size and brand in to a set of clod tires once. they sell small letter's and numbers but I don't know if they have and small enough for 1.9 size tires. it makes them inset and not raised but it still looked cool. I took a small paint brush and some white paint to make the brand white.

On the 1.9 stomper it says RC4WD 1.9 stomper and it is pretty decent size too. So if they can do this im sure there is a way to make the size on there plenty big and scale too
