it has nothin to do with airplanes! FAA is known for their very strict requirements for testing on everything because of safty issues. They are just tryin to get the point out that their tire won't fly apart on you at 160 mph even thoe it's a retread.

All that is used for filling in the lettering is kinda like a grease pencil. You can get them from any bike shop. I bet Shugga could get them for you right here on stuntlife.

yeah i did paint pen once...it looked good for like a week, and then it started to wear off and looked like **** for the rest of the time the tires were on the bike......
....of course i could have re-did the paint pen crap, but who the hell wants to do that on a weekly basis just to have the letters look good ???
just my .02

Yes that would be Dale's, wait till it's dark out that bike runs off an extra generator. It's like the Luxor in Vegas!!!
Anyways....back to the tires
There's a company in England that makes colored tires,..blue,red,yellow.
Then there's TrickTape that sells the color paint pens ,talk to Shawn.
Good luck
