As least in these parts some tire customers WANT the blue left on the tires, to let everyone know they have new tires I guess. I had a flat a few months back. A nice big deck screw right at the sidewall edge to the tread. It meant a new tire for me.
While I was picking it up, that manager was telling his tire tech to go unmount the new tires, and put on 4 tires with the blue still on it, like the work order said. The customer had made it clear, he wanted the blue left on the tires.
