Hey,
Just wondering if anybody has applied red stripes to their tyres or if you just have to buy the tyres with the stripes already on.
Also if you can apply them yourself where can you get them from?
Any help much appreciated....😉

a guy in S.A uses some little grinder type thing to make grove then paints the red line in about $66
Matties dad had it done so he would know for sure

I think they look the business.
A lot better than the white wall flaps.
Really set off the BRM's

Alternatively, there is other colours. Orange looks good too...

i have also seen inserts like the white walls but are black with a thin red stripe they mean you cover the writing on the tyre rather than cut a line through it.

yeah paul,
thats right mate $66
how to do it is a different matter they actually angle grind the tyre then paint the red inserts in with some sort of ink.
cheers mattie.

ps. you might want to buy a good brush to get the rubber off the drive way as ours is still on there. lol.

I've got redwalls on my bus. They are painted on after the tyre is grooved out. The only problem is that they fade quite quickly. The paint can't be UV-stable. Need to find some better paint.........

Nice bay.

see I dont just like splits.

seriously that looks very nice.
A hell of a lot better than the whitewall flaps, with the chrome of the sprints the red really sets it off.

Just got to save up for the Radars and fit them with the red stripes,

Anyway you can go over them with a uv protector clear or something like that.

And for the moaners, I am slagging off whitewall flaps, and Yes I do have them.

Cheers
Dave

That bay is awesome! The red stripes just add that subtle touch of toughness...My splitty is bright green so I'm thinking the red stripe will contrast to the max - being a the complementary colour ( for those art buffs )
