    I’ve been using black leather shoe dye. Comes in its own applicator bottle. Tires mounted with the X white lettering to the inside of course.

    I used a black paint marker and it didn’t last a year before rubbing off.
    Not recommended…
     
  5. Tyre black unavailable? I still use a can I had bought 30 years ago. Has the world gone mad?

    If it's the same tire black I used in the 70's, it always reminded me of regular shoe polish, but in a Bigger can! On EBay !! tire wax.jpg
