I feel like plasti-dip wouldnt have the density to cover a black tire in one coat and since it takes forever for me to do one coat I don't know if I want to do multiple coats
It seemed to me like my paint dried out and cracked when the tires compressed hitting bumps and stuff. I wonder if oil based isn't the best and maybe something like latex that is a bit more flexible might work better.

I figured when the car is rolling, tires will heat up making the oil base paint more flexible.
I don't know what else is out there that's latex base, if you find a solution... share it. I think getting a stencil made then painting it maybe the best option for longevity but not sure how it'll work on street tires.

Did a quick search on Summit's website and found these. Ordered up a couple of 'em. I'll let you guys know how they turn out.

They advertise these, their permanent ones, as lasting the life of the tire. They also say that they're cleanable with rubbing alcohol. Other brands have been known to turn brown after time or when using tire cleaners/waxes. They also have semi permanent ones, they're not cleanable, but they are removable.

A friend of mine sent me a link to purchase these permanent stickers. After my last set of tires, I haven't colored my new set yet due to the font and letter layout of my BFG KDW's.
A local friend of mine cut out some Idlers stencil... I was going to paint them on my new set but not sure how Idlers will sit on a nissan because they are known for RWB's. Still debating if I should go permanent sticker or the paint route which requires more maintenance.
Food for thought -- do they offer permanent stickers like these? I would so put those on my tires even if I'm not running Michelin lol.

As DW ( Waltrip ) would say.. " Boogity Boogity Boogity "
Got me thinkin' - Might be tempted to try an old school red Sharpie...Hmmm...
