White wall Michelins?

Saw a set of Michelins on an M ( dont remember which) at a track and the Michelin was in white on the tire.
Thought it looked pretty cool.
Anyone know of a few tires they do that with? About tire time for me and starting to look

You don't buy the tires like that. You paint them or have them painted.

it's usually white shoe polish fyi

also useful on sidewalls to determine how much flex/scrub you're getting

Plenty of semi truck applications yes, sure i was sorta being a dick, but all white lettering i've seen was DIY.

Also plenty of info out there:

I got ya I got ya,

Sorry About that.

I just felt like ive seen alot of tires being sold like that before.

I guess its just my motocross background and crossing the two.

I wouldnt ever want to paint my tires.

But wouldn't be against buying a tire that came like that.
