Haven't heard of a tire "dye".
There are a lot of products that clean rubber and/or make tires look black like new (without dyes). Some last longer than others. None that I'm aware of lasts 2-3 months.
Btw, I wouldn't want any of my tires to "die"!
:-p

I've seen it at properautocare.com and is for more than tires....
This stuff is called Forever Black and can be used on bumpers and body moldings. Never used it though.<ul><li><a href="http://store.yahoo.com/classic-motoring/fb-1k.html">Forever Black</a></li></ul>

Actually they don't ever say it's for use on tires.
They repeatedly refer to using it on bumpers and trim, but not tires. I suspect it would "seal" whatever it's applied to, which would be a problem on tires for much the same reason that silicone is a problem on tires.

I have experience with multiple types of tire dies, and I didn't
like any of them.
Among the types I've had: 6D nail, 1" roofing nail, 3/4" wood screw, dry wall anchor and a cut nail driven in head first.

It's a sad, sad state, but it's really my mom's fault. You see.....
she's an English teacher, been one since before I was born, so you can bet that growing up I was corrected at every turn. I thought it was such an ***-pain growing up, but when I got to college and could rattle off a 3-page "A" paper in the hour before class, I realized she'd actually taught me something. Now I guess that spelling and grammar are just pet peeves for me. It was made even worse being at an engineering school. If I had a nickel for every time I heard, "I'm an engineer, I don't have to be able to write/speak." I'd be a rich man. I just thought, "Yeah, well see how much respect you get when you present your design and no one in the room can understand a word you're saying, and trying to read your proposal isn't helping them either."

You and I aren't so different in this area. You want to hear something pretty ironic...
I had to take an entrance exam for placement in college. Part of it was a written essay, graded by the english department. This was done regardless of what your major was, which for me was also Engineering, but I switched to business and became a CPA. Anyway, my essay was on why students in majors other than English should have to take 4 years of college English since they would innevitably be required to write and speak publicly in their professions. I got an "A" on the paper and was exempt from four years of college English. Pretty funny huh??
