Is it possible to blue tyres??
I know you can blue steel by overheating it, I have seen the state of my old clutch plates.
But can you blue tyres????
 
Blue Tyre
This is one of my R888's that has just come off the Indy. It's 3 years old, done 5,500 miles, 6 trackdays and they are now down to the wear
bars (well the back ones are just past it, the fronts have a little tread left).
All 4 have a distinct blue section around the outer edge.
Do I need to adjust my suspension???? The wear across the tyres looks totally even, no bald shoulders, or centre section.

hey Mike, I notice the tyre blueing is a very similar colour to your car 
Respray the car red, wait 3 years and see if there are red marks on the tyres

yep, as said,
it shows that your tyres have been working well with your driving style & car set up,
tho depending on tyre make, a tyre has so many heat cycles then they start to "go off".
cheers

"I blue myself"
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.
