I have the DiamondBack BFG Redlines, after 3 years (about 7K miles) they still look great. The redline is actually a red rubber that is vulcanized to the tire carcass. Make sure you don't use any silicone based tire treatments (ArmorAll, etc.) as that will dull out the red. DiamondBack recommends scrubbing the bejeezus out of them with Simple Green to clean them, and then applying Mop and Glo to seal them. Does not give them the 'wet' look but looks good.
Where have you been? Things must be busy. Be thankful your not back here- it's -8 this morning w/o the wind chill!
That's some good info if you live on gravel- silicone is the worst enemy for attracting dust.
