There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

New Name
Back in the day, performance tires were marked with raised white lettering. It was even an option on new cars, just like whitewalls, or striped tires. The abbreviation is RWL, and has been for more than 50 years. I think if you tie that in, as it is explained on your website, you will have a stronger brand awareness. RAISED WHITE LETTERING. Tredwear is catchy, but, is a problem, not a mod. Think about that, and the name/slogan will jump out at you. Ours did! Joe

I take it you've never heard of the farkleberry bush!!
That was a gimmick Jack Bogut, morning DJ at KDKA in Pittsburgh in the seventies, used to raise money for Children's Hospital every Christmas. One year he sold farkleberry tarts, another year for a fee you could reach into a box and feel a farkleberry bush, and all sorts of other oddball variations. Even though he long ago left KDKA, Children's Hospital still keeps the farkleberry tradition somewhat alive. I have a Farklebeary Bear, pic below, I bought several years ago, and a bakery in Pittsburgh sells farkleberry cookies with part of the proceeds being donated to CH. So farkle really is a good word, although I agree not for a tire business!

How about "Tire Attire"?
Suggestion
If you are thinking about re branding, especially in this age of internet searches, I suggest that you think about what people might "Google" if they are looking for the the type of product you produce.
The company name TredWear does not automatically make one think of custom lettering for tire sidewalls, but if you do an internet search on tread lettering ..... there you are on the first page.
I would not be too hasty to throw away something that works, but if you are looking for a name change you might want to think about just adding "Tire Letters" to your company name. "Tredwear Tire Letters" sounds good to me. Existing customers will still identify with your company and new customers will be able to find it online when they do searches for tire lettering. The goodwill of your company name will not be diminished and there will no longer be any confusion as to what product you sell.
Just my two cents.

thanks for the advice but the website that you saw come up is my manufacturers website not me,i don't have web page yet still using this site as my advertising so this is one of the reasons for changing name. plus like i was sayin tredwear really doesnt say customize tires.
Sorry, my mistake. On the plus side you really do have a clean slate to pick an appropriate name for your company. I still think incorporating "tire lettering" into the name makes sense, since that is what people will gravitate to when performing a search for your product.
All the best.
