Maybe it's just me, but the white line bothered me during on-board shots. I was fixated on that damn white line. If the do plan on keeping it, I wish they would put it on the inner or outer lining - so it's not so "in your face". And perhaps change the color to a dull yellow.

Here's my crappy attempt through MSpaint.

They're fine.

[MortenF1]

I didn't really think about it, so it didn't disturb me.
From the outside it actually looked quite nice in a strange way.

[Chubby_Deuce]

It would probably rub off on kerbs if you did it on the shouler like that.

And to add, it showed excessive rear tyre wear very well. So I guess it will be removed soon... :-(

Yes, I believe Jack White has sold out! No doubt.

Wait a second...is this a thread about the White Stripes?

[dgsg]

We need a BIG flashing strobe light on top of the car to be switched on when the soft tires are being used. Really, really big and it can also be used to help slow the cars down. Maybe even the size of a 22" flat panel display, then it could be used to show advertising when the hard compound is being used.
Just a random thought.

[Umpire]

Hehehe good one dgsg

Well, I found it a little bit odd because from the onboard shots it looked to me as though that part of the tyre wasn't moving But I guess i'll get used to it.

I wish they could find a solution on the sides of the tyres, but anyway.

It was good though to show how much the tyres (particularly the rears) wear out on individual cars.

Hmm not really distracting, I did find the way it wore off the back tyre interesting though.

It doesnt disturb me. Some civil tire manufacturers do paintings like that as well:

[wingwalker]

im ok with it, and i expect everyone will get use to it after three races or so.

[primer]

There is no reason for anyone to get distracted.

Bridgestone have come up with decent solution, even if they put the marking someplace else or of different colors some people would still not like it. Can't please everyone.

Yall get used to it.

[indyracefan]

Anyone find the white stripe down the middle of the tire distracting?

...no.

me neither... quite like it actually

[Owen]

Visually, I don't like it. But when it comes to getting agreement in F1, everything ends up as a compromise.

Oh? Perhaps the original poster is lying then!

Yes, I suspect we will!

[pharq]

Didn't really take much notice of it to be honest.

Hmmmm sounds like a bad case of White Line fever

[PassWind]

Yeah it made me go out and want to buy F1 merchandise, damn you Bernie and your manipulative ways, I am on to you and will not be a victim of the white line syndrome.

[Frenando]

Although I still don't get what was wrong with their champ car solution.

Great tune!!!

Oh! And I've got way bigger beefs about F1 than that white line...
It's fine!!! It does what it has to do...

[uffen]

Yes, we can get used to it, but it doesn't go with F1, really. Those damn grooved tires already look like some genetic mutation (even if we're used to them by now) not proper tires, and that white stripe makes them look too "golly gee" for me.
