Dyeing whitewalls red?
I gave up on spending the 1200-1300 for the old style redlines.
Back to my old faithful Les, bought 70,000 mile tires with a whitewall and had that mounted out so they show. From making sheaths for my knives I am familiar with leather dye. I can't see a problem with using red dye to color the whitewalls. May have to redo it every year or so. Has anyone else done this? I thought I saw a thread about this earlier but can't find it now. I did find the posts about creating whilewalls by sanding and grinding- not what I am after. These are brand-new tires Schwab to home- and they have the raised whitewall all clean and unfooledaroundwith. What have YOU tried, and how happy are you with it? Some pics would be good too Thanks, _______

Re: Dyeing whitewalls red?
What size tires are you using.Did you find any narrow whites bigger than 235/75s?I was going to have custom wide tires made in narrow whitewalls by Diamondback Classics for $800 a set.

Re: Dyeing whitewalls red?
Orange, tire sizes for me are limited to what my truck can handle because of our access road.
I bought P235/75-R15 this time- tallest tires that will fit- and can now navigate in and out without the headers scraping.
