A thought just crossed my mind. As you know rubber is actually white and is dyed black in the tyre making process. What you need is a set of un-dyed tyres to go with those red wheels !! :D

One of my mates was a buyer at Dunlop and he was responsible for procurring Carbon Black which gives the tyres their black colour. It also protects against UV and conducts heat away from the tread. He told me other stuff about it but I may have dozed off..

Sorry, chaps, been busy with house and garden. Funnily enough I was all set to put them on today, but got up this morning and it was very windy, and seeing as I want to give me brakes a good cleaning too, I gave it a miss today. :)
