I thought painting bike tyres was a big no no, ince, unlike a car, far more of the tyre is in contact with the road?

My 'Bling Pen' sits in my shed. I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Then again my bike isn't sporty enough to carry it off.

I had a go on the R1. Didn't do all the writing though as I wanted to keep it subtle

A - it looks silly.
B - I certainly wouldn't be highlighting 'Michelin', I might make up some other artwork to cover up their logo, though Razz.
