I washed my jeep today and while scrubbing the mud off my bf km2's i noticed that the raised white lettering rubbed off on certain letters. i thought maybe it was cause i was rubbing too hard so i eased up with the sponge. i used armour all car soap and wax to clean them.

just wanted to know if anyone out there has experienced the same thing.

I will try to take a pic a little later, its just cuz it's really raining hard outside right now.

 

I would just keep rubbing until I had Black wall tires.

How old and how many miles on the tires? Is it happening to all of then? I don't have that tire, I have the BF KO's on my early Bronco, and I never have had anything like that happen.

You'll probably have to live with it though. I would say that you should come up with a very fantastic wheel'n story (like the fish that got away story) to explain it if asked.

Something like "The canyon got so narrow..."

 

mine are rubbing off. but i put the white on the inside. just dont like the way it looks to me. i would either rub it all off or flip em

 

they only have like 10000km's on them, they are BRAND NEW.

i guess my wheel washing story wont get any respect from other wheelers eh? lol

this kinda stuff really sux-maybe i'll give bf a call and see what they say. what else could i do?

 

maybe so. i just got mine a month or so ago. but i wheel the shit outta mine

 

I would call them, or start with who you purchased them from. It never hurts to try. They certainly can't do anything about it if they don't know of the problem.

 

just flip them much easier blacks better

 

I agree, rub it off or flip the tires. I have rarely seen a vehicle that I liked the white letters on the tires.

If you really do like it there has to be a way to touch it up.

 

When you find out the secret, sell it to all of the MT/R w/Kevlar owners that could only get OWLs in their size.

 

Someone used to make a paint pin of sorts back in the 80's that you could go over the letters with. I don't know if they stil make those or not. My sister used to do her mustang tires with it. I think they sold those by the headband ,leg warmers, and running shorts . Haha
