I have a set of four nice Goodyear Diamond-tread Blackwall tires I removed last month to add whitewalls and they are available, with tubes.

Guys used to paint the white walls black and turn them around.

ME Miller Tire Paint is what I used and it looks authentic. Before painting clean the tires twice, three times if you have ever used ArmorAll or any tire dressing.

You might want to check with a store that sells automotive paint when looking for something to blacken the tires.
