so i was wondering if we can paint our tire grooves as well.

 

first thing is where to get the markers, cause permanent markers doubt will have its colour last.

 

2nd is safety, as we know the grooves are for channeling water away, painting them might reduce their water channeling ability.

 

pretty sure no one tried this in sg yet.

Saw one guy riding SP done this before..

He using Battlax tyres..

Must do it cleanly than it will look nicer..

wah!! its damn nice sia.. but don know safe or nt.. hahah..

[Rahza]

i doubt it will affect the water channeling ability that much... unless ur tire old already lah... but the problem is getting the right marker....

[shong]

jus use the tire marker lor..easy

[CSV]

where to get tire markers?

 

think have to use smaller nib to ensure the colour is clean.

 

but i agree is nice looking. imagine if its reflective. at night = higher visibility.

[shong]

usually onli white and gold lea lol dun think got reflective orange color, if got i also go buy

[Trueno]

i used to do it for my r1 and bb use paint marker can already but due to expansion on the tire due to the heat the paint will crack after a while of riding from far look still ok but near all crack one. its nt reall very safe also when rainin and tire going botak will slip.

haha, it's confirmed. painting tire grooves makes your bike look cooler lol.

 

yeah, for the sake of looking nice, have to spend time and effort to touch up the paint.

 

if your tyre got alot of grooves, good luck!

I know the fastest way to do this.

 

Bring the bike to the track, use spray paint and spray the whole tyre tread portion.

 

Bring the bike out onto the track and scuff up the tyres through the corners... paint is gone except for the grooves.!!

I am also looking for Red/Orange/glow in the dark markers to make the tyre grooves like the 1st pic shown above. Anywan know where to buy pls PM me thanks.

woah.. like this also can.. cant believe you can think of it..

 

 

you can try to use sliver markers to be base before painting colours like red,orange or yellow.. dun use white as base as white paint is thicker and harder to work with.. sliver is easier..

I have used paint markers on tyres before and they last a surprisingly long time on them.
