Change whitewalls to blackwalls? Paint?

Yeah, just get rid of the whitewall tires and don't buy new tires. ROTFLMAO! Not really, that wasn't funny at all.

Your best bet is to have the tires remounted with the whitewalls in. I doubt any thing will reliably stick.

ayep, reverse the tires.

No, the spraypaint will crack. You _can_ buy flexible rubber-based paint for this sort of thing, but it would just be easier to remount the tires with the white stripe in.

The tire black and similar products will work - sort of. But they are designed for blackening existing blackwalls, so you may have to lay it on pretty thick. And expect that it will have to be renewed regularly. If it were me, I would live with the whitewalls until they drove me buggy, then buy two new ones.

I don't know if you can even get real "tire black" anymore. It was basically carbon black suspended in paint thinner, and it would darn-near PERMANENTLY blacken anything it touched that was the least bit porous. Fingers and concrete driveways included :-p

I never painted out a whole whiteWALL with it, but I did black over raised white letters on tires so that you couldn't see them on the inside of the front tires when the wheels were turned. The blacking lasted longer than the tires did!

Wouldn't recommend that. After a few thousand miles the steel belts in the tires are laying a certain direction. To reverse the tire would cause the belts to shift to the direction and could cause premature separation of outer tread puncture.

That's why you need to pull them off the rims, and remount them in reverse, so that they are turning in the same direction after you swap them over. As mentioned earlier in this thread.
