Geez I hope thats not what they do to get the white stripe.
I'd be looking at some suppliers that provide this already done before resorting to that.

correct tyres are coloured black with carbon (soot) ... which gives them the black appearance and also slows the effects of the UV rays on degrading the rubber
BUT when they are white walled aftermarket they are grooved(only 1mm if that) then they fill it with the white coloured rubber
