Looking to make my lettering on my tires red, seen someone a while back use a white one on their tires and wondering how well it would hold up and if they even make red ones?

My dad used it when he use to haul wood chips with his peterbilt. It lasted a couple weeks with the white.... I would think they make other colors too. Made them semi tires look nice after he washed, waxed and detailed the inside and outside of that truck!

Could steal a white or orange one from work for ya lol. They're only tire chalk but it last awhile. No red though. Pink, orange, and white. Don't ask me why we use pink to mark tires. I still haven't got a clue

Yes, my phone has a mind of its own. It does what it wants, when it what's to, whether i like it or not. It must be taking lessons from my wife. (Tapatalk)

i used the white tire chalk before....it looked good when first applied, but it didn't last too long.....Def. would come off with scrubbing the tires. BTW...even though its called chalk, its more like a wax.

I have used the Dupli Color hot tires pen. Worked good for about the first 3 or 4 letter outlines, then the tip started to frazzle some and the paint wouldn't get into it. The best thing I have used it for is to touch up where it says 'yamaha' on the back of my Warrior 350 seat.

Why don't you buy touch up paint and brush it on? Will come out brighter and last linger?

Well it sounds like this might not be a good idea in the long run

Anybody have an opinion on using touch up paint? I May stop and get some and try red to see if it works. Surely would be better than a tire crayon

depends on the paint....how will it hold up to the conditions. Heat, water. Will the touch up paint flex enough or will it crack and flake off?

I think those Generals are the same tires they run on the Mopar Ram Runner. I've seen some up close and they seem to be a really tough tire.
