    Re: Do you coat (or dress) both sides of your tires?

This is where a metro vac side kick comes in handy to increase the drying time to between coats.

    Yeah... added a 4th coat today and it looks like there’s brand new road tar carefully painted on to the rubber... really black and shiny but still not greasy looking. I gotta use as much as I can this fall just in case it fails over the winter.

    I showed my wife the tires. She said “wow, those look so nice. Are these for next summer, you already put the winter tires on?”
    Me: “No hunny, those are the winter tires!”
    Her: “So they’re going to be driven all winter in the snow and you put in this time to make them look like that?”
    Me: “Yes. But I didn’t spend time coating the other sides of each tire at least.”
    Her: “I’m going inside. Bye.”

    I’m with the majority. If it’s a show car/garage queen then yes. On a DD, no way! Especially if you don’t see the inside side wall.
