[QUOTE="BOJANGLES, post: 47600, member: 21"] I'm not saying you or the General rep you spoke to are wrong, because I don't truly know the actual process myself, but they definitely don't seem like stickers to me. I was told that the red was actually dyed tire compound that's molded into the tires during the manufacturing process. I was told that this is done so that the red wouldn't scuff out when the tires rub against curbs and rocks, so far this has proven to be true with mine.... They've taken some pretty good rashes from both that I can scrub out and the red stays. I was told this by a 4 Wheel Parts employee, not saying that he's a more accurate source than yours, but his explanation of the process seems to be consistent with my usage experience. My red has faded, but it doesn't go away or peel when gouged. I also think my fading is partly because I got my Grabbs from the early production run, newer ones that I see seem to be a truer red than mine ever were, so maybe they've made some manufacturing corrections, whether they're molds, unique stickers, or whatever.
