3m adhesive remover should work if you scrub hard enough and shouldnt hurt the rubber just be sure to wash it off good.If that doesnt work you could just use paint thinner but i dunno what that would do to the rubber

I think your SOL cuz any kinda chemical can potentially damage the rubber and make it unsafe, are the inside/outside tires or directionals. cuz you could just mount the paint on the inside if they are directional.

They are directional, and that is the only tire wall that has the paint, so i might just take it back to them, and see if they could switch them around...


I wanted a quick fix, but if its just gonna f- up the tires, I'll switch them around..... :bash:
