dear tire tart
Painting a tire with "Paint" is considered to be a very bad idea in most of
the circles i have traveled in
paint has qualities that react badly when joined with tires ...
from what i have been told ... (when i used to work at a General Tire Store)

the paint will cause deterioration of the sidewall and weather checking ...
i have heard the same thing about Amour All for tires ... but i have no
consistent experience with that stuff...
used it once or twice ...and then an exceptional state of indolence set in
..
i have almost recovered fully from this ...
and now periodically wash my westie
yours
