The white clearly signifies snow & ice tires. Canadians know how to roll in winter...

That wasn't paint in some of the scenes. I believe it was strategic applications of MEMuRM (Mobility Enhancing Mu Reducing Material). In a couple of shots, it was clearly MEMuRT a specific form of MEMuRM.

If you guys end up sticking with the white material, you should consider branding them "Ice-Tires".
