Default Tire painting

Well, not the whole tire, just a stipe to find the valve stem.

Anyone have any wisdom on the effects of paint on tires, paint you
absolutely shouldn't use, etc?

I would guess exterior latex house paint would be harmless to tires
and would last a while, but since I just put on tires, I hate to guess.

It was my understanding that the stripe spanning tire and rim was to check
for tire slippage ON the rim which would imply stress in the valve-inner
tube join.


That may be, but my purpose is purely to be able to find the valve
stem while at the tow bar.
