Simulating tire marks on garage floors?

So here is my conundrum: I need to simulate tire tread marks and other general evidence of a cars passing on a white painted concrete shop floor. I've tried dipping scale tires in a thinned shade and running down the length, but it just doesn't look quite right. The liquid either puddles or the tire dries to quickly, leaving the intended track on the floor too short. Also thought about airbrushing a dirty shade over the general area where it would pass, then running the tires down it, but this would leave a reverse impression, I think, picking up the paint I had just laid down. Just FYI, the tracks need to be several car lengths long. What say you, FSM gurus? Thanks, Chris
