Default Stupid Whitewalls

I got really tired of the whitewalls turning yellow on these tires. Decided to turn them into red lines. All I did was used lacquer thinner on the whitewall to clean them and used a fat tip red Sharpie magnum marker and marked over the whitewall. They came out actually really nice for what I did. The head on the marker worked perfect for the diameter of the whitewall.

Tires are just a cheap set of Milestar radials which are actually a decent tire.

Nice approach.
I had a set of Hankook white walls on my Charger,cpuld not keep them white,so I fanally bought a set of DiamondBack Classics with a thin whitewall on a BFG casing.

Interesting fix... I like it!

I suppose, one could even go with a yellow/gold line or blue streak depending on the application? That's probably taking the idea too far??

Save a couple tires for Ohio show next summer and my 5 year old daughter can color them in for you!

Patriot tire paint is a good way to go as well.
