| | |  Blue-tinted mud
<font color=purple>No question, really. Just an observation. They put that blue stuff on new tires that gets washed off when you buy them. But, even after several years of mud racing, the dried chunks that fall out of my tires have a blue tint to 'em. Kinda weird, eh?</font color=purple>

Mud works better than an apple/day for cleaning your teeth, so you don't need to visit the crazy dude who attacks any soft tissue in your mouth instead of your teeth... [img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] But anyway, what is the blue stuff they put on the tires put on there for? Does it protect them while they're sitting there or what?

<font color=purple>I have no real idea what it's for. And I have consumed a fair share of mud, although not intentionally[img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/blush.gif[/img]! </font color=purple>

The blue stuff is to keep the white letters clean and free of grease during transport. It is like putting on that liquid glove stuff. If it doesnt get washed off completely it may stain? mud.. It may just be all the mud in Texs' eyes that make it seem blue..j/k

<font color=purple>See, I've seen 'em washing that stuff off the white letters. But, I'm talking about a black-sidewall Super Swamper. Why would that kind of a tire need that stuff, & why doesn't it go away after time??? I've had this happen on 7-year-old tires[img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif[/img].</font color=purple>

Ohhh!! you didn't hear about that stuff??? It was another one of those billion dollar discoveries that NASA has found, kinda like Tang. NASA has stated that it will turn mud blue even after seven years of use! Pretty amazing huh?

I always figured NASA had something to do with the blue coatings that never wash off, including on black wall tires... [img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Did y'all know they're going to use Super Swamper's on the next Mars explorer? [img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] Wouldn't that be cool if they did? Hey TEX, when they settle the moon or something out in space are you going to go out there, dump some water on the ground, and set up some mud bog association? I certainly hope so, otherwise people there won't have any fun sports.. [img]/wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I hope no one minds me, I'm crazy...
