How about dipping it or spraying it with several coats of plasti-dip? Very durable though not near as thick looking as the rubber tube so it may not stick out so bad.

Throw away the Good Year Marathons!!!! I as well as most of my fellow car buddies have had numerous issues with Marathons. I blew three in one 500 mile trip!!!! The only one that did not blow on the trip was the non Marathon tire. To add to the issue, when I when in to a Goodyear dealer I found on the way, they would not even sell me the Marathons as they too agreed they were junk. Stowers and I blew only one tire on our trip to Carlise last year, the ONLY Marathon on the trailer! JMO
