Have not seen any pics with whitewalls, anyone got a pic of a Savage with whitewalls??? Also, what about putting a 140/90 on the rear instead of the normal 140/80? Appreciate your opinions, love this forum. Thanks!! BB

This is Ranger tire paint. Do not recommend. Pealed after first drive thru a puddle. Looks good though. Tire is a 160/80 on 4 inch rim.

Satin white Rustoleum brush on supposedly works to make fake whitewalls. Believe it when I see it...

And expanded into the jacked up 4x4 market.

I used Maxiss a couple of times, one lasted & had excellent grip, the second, wore out in no time & had a hair less grip.. I liked the tires, but the difference in lifespan turned me off,, BUT, I didnt know about the Born On date & how to decode it back then,, I may have bought an Old Tire, Ill never know. I guess now it wont matter..
