Years ago all tires had the white wall in the casing and the cut to white was extra cost. Newer tires and trends lead to a black wall only? My guess on this one!
@tuugfo believe it or not,its 1 of only 2 choices....you either pay the only place you can get them nowadays coker tire about 275 a tire or get new tires and either do this yourself or have it done and save literally have the money.ghetto maybe,but smart,indeed!
That is awsome. I will deffinatly have to try that. Sure beats ordering some tires from koker tire. Hey do all tires have that white layer under them or just the ones with the skinny white wall and the white letters.
@jon49der Thanks...only a tire that comes with a white strip showing or raised white letters has the wide underneath. I did some Dunlops and they were even wider than these.
@mengle2004 Had to cut up a tire for the rubber as a protector for the lifting cables on a crane. The wide rubber under the black was visible when it was cut. Spinning the tire to remove the black seemed the best way to make smooth, kinda like a lathe
@nickyhalston2008 too much time???/ notice how the whole time he was sanding down the tire....it was not edited? the video itself is 5 minutes...and the whole time he wasnt sanding
I haven't tried yet. I was talking about the tire in this video. It looks really good but there's one spot if you look about 4:40 that seems to stick out a bit around the outside edge of the white. I was wondering if that was hard to clear up. Did you make the white as wide as it would go on this tire? I'd want them as wide as possible if I tried this. Would you recommend or disrecommend that?
Oh...it looks as a bump, but is where dust flew off. Very much rubber dust is created. Yes...on this tire I went as far as the white would go. Not all brands are the same. Look at other video of mine, it is on a Eldorado...that brand came out much wider...I think was Dunlop
@Klattuso, do you just keep grinding till u see the edge of the white wall?that doesnt mess up the finish of the black where you were grinding on at the edge?i have a set of gt champiro 75's with a 1.5" white wall but i wanted to go to about 2.5" and im getting mixed reviews from tire places on whether or not they can go that wide and i dont want to dig in and try b4 i know cuz i dont want to mess them up.they are on a 56 buick century so of course theyd look beter with a bigger whete wall!
@jayocular Yes, but you will see the end of the white easy as you flatten the white wall you have at the beginning. Not need to grind deep, just keep moving the edge out until yo no longer see it expanding. The best/widest I've done have been on raised white letter tires. Since you allready have narrow white walls, go ahead and blend them wider, its not going to mess them up. Be sure your last grinding is smooth and with a high grit number. Best to use the 3M type discs at finish.
@Klattu thank you for your response,much appreciated! i may just get brave enough to dig into those new tires and make them look like some wide white bad boys!
it looks like this one is a bit wavy as well. was it easy to clear that up? is there usually a set area on the tire that is white under the black so that the inner/outer rings are perfect? ie if you make them as wide as possible, hopefully you'll uncover all the white area and it will be a perfect white ring...?
Yours came out wavy? Did you grind as it was spinning? The way I did it here, they come out very smooth...The white does have a outer edge...it is very good, but not as perfect as the inside edge. If yours came out wavy, I would mount them as spin as I grind lightly.
That seems unsafe to me. I wouldn't want to test the integrity of the tires. I can imagine plenty of sidewall blowouts in the future
