You guys can discuss all type of tyres in this thread.

I've got my battlax from K&T Accessories but they are currently out of stock now. You can get them at Unique Motorsport for $150 for both front and rear.

Actually it is easy to paint those tyres using the paint marker bro.

 

i am using the ones from normal bookshop too.

 

firstly u need to dip out the paint from the marker into a piece of paper and then after that you use the tip of the marker and dip the paint back and paint ur tyres.

 

i admit that it is a little time comsuming but it can be done.

 

the marker cost about $2.30

 

use the one with the broader tip and it will be much easier.

 

hope it helps u.
