Tyre shine or paint's ?????
Reardo Thu 21 Oct 2010, 8:41 am
What tyre shine or paint do u boys use on your tyres?
The spray on tyre shine i use on the Car can be dangerous if u get it on tyre tread of a bike.
What do ya think about the white writing on bike tyres?

*thumbs up* for the white lettering. What paint did you use? Looks good. Undecided on the tire shine.

I like white writing, but it's like all these things, once everyone is doing it it ceases to stand out and be "cool". I guess that's why these things go in cycles (no pun intended).
I don't use anything on the side walls of the bike except degreaser, I use a bio-degradable one from supercrap, scrub the sidewalls and the rims together, hose off and presto, clean natural rubber look!

Personally I don't like it, but that's just me.

No tyre shine for me, I like to stay rubber side down.
My tyres don't usually last long enough to justify spending my time painting them
I did it once on my old VL turbo when I was younger... never again

My god, I just had a flash back to my previous life spending hours and hours polishing shoes and boots. Interstingly they don't use that stuff in the ADF anymore, they now have patent leather shoes/boots.
