tyre paint

[legoearth]

can anybody suggeat a black paint that can be applied to tyres along the tread not the side wall, to cover up a white paint line that runs all the way around ? thanks in advance for any advice.

if your putting it on the tread surely it would compromise your grip until it wore off? and then you are back to where you started.

The only thing i can suggest is something like...

What sort of tyres do you have ? might be safer and relatively inexpensive to just change them .

Why not just use a black marker pen?

sharpie/marker pen just rubs off! They are brand new scwalbe tyres on a cube analog. Dont know why they put the line on.it was brought online and the coulour I chose didnt have the white line,but thats how it arrived! Thought it might wear off but hasnt yet,its so irrittating and looks daft!

Ride it a few times and the dirt will soon cover over any white lines.

Some things are just not worth worrying about...

Wear it off with some heavy breaking i.e. skidding around?

 

[Jezston]

Send them back as they aren't what you wanted?

 

[legoearth]

thanks all. It just looks daft. ok if you're a teenager!! tried spray paint,that just peeled off! think its indestructable. Its also a safety hazzard.just keep watching the wheel as it goes round.Any ideas why they would put it on the tread??? its just two lines near the edge of the tyre.

Hello, did someone call.

I've just fitted white tyres to my bike and think they look great, except for the horrible black stripe down the middle

I don't think the white line is painted on, it will go all the way through. Just put up with it until you can replace them.

What colour is the rest of the bike?

Replace the front one with one you like and wear the "horrids" out on the back.

Mismatched tyres <shudder>

26x25 will be telling you next that it doesn't matter if the logo on the sidewall matches up with the valve stem next.
