Default Do you use black on your tyres?

Some love it some hate it - when you clean your car do you put the shiny black stuff on your tyres?

No. I have white writing on my tyres and tyre black makes them look naff. I use fairy liquid and a nylon nail brush on my side walls, works a treat every time.

I always wash my tires loads so that they look shiny and black, but what's this stuff you speak of??

Could do with some of that.

I have used the foam on my tyres to make them black and shiny, but to be honest they get dirty too quick so dont see the point!!!

Your tires are meant to be dirty though!

You could even buy that "spray on dirt" that some guy made millions off!

Great - tyre black and then spray on dirt! You could be there all day alternating between the two....

Wish I'd invented spray on dirt and made millions. What about spray on water - do you think there is a market?

Sprinkle on dust could be a hit too.

Hey - i've got massive stock of that. Do you think I can also shift shedloads of belly button fluff?

i think low profile tires that have that ''brand new wet shine'' and go over the manufacturers name in white pen paint look the best

White paint goes well on American muscle cars but not sure if it would look right on a European car.
