Tire paint
I have Cooper Cobras, but since I went with wider tires on the back, 225/70 15, I couldn't get the raised white letters. Does anyone have any experience with tire paint, or know which kind is good to use?
I've looked a lot at the Duplicolor Hot Tires stuff, read both good and bad things about that. It's under $10 a tube usually. Anyone tried that stuff?
Then there's this guy from Iceland:
http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepaint.htm
Everything I've read about that stuff is good, but the site says the paints not recommended for radial tires.
Anyone have experience with any of these products, or have another tire paint they have used and recommended?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Tire paint
Works good. I have used the duplicolor stuff on a set of older goodyear eagle gt's. Held up awhile and looked great. Make sure you prep the letters with paint thinner and then allow ample time to dry. Wipe down with Prep-all allow dry an hit it with paint. Lasted about a year before it started to flake off. Then just touch up very simple.

Re: Tire paint
Cool, most of the bad stuff I read was about it flaking off fast or turning brown. I thought those people maybe didnt do the propper prep work to make it look good. Any other tips or experiance anyone has?
