Thats good
Have they changed the paint .
I had trouble removing it some yrs ago.
It didn't want to come off at all.
Took more like 20 washes and scrubbing and still was visible.
Take it back to tyre man and ask how, or even better get him to remove it.

Cheers

Use a high pressure water blaster at close range, a little bit of degreaser helps too

Sneak up on it carefully with the pressure washer, mine says not to use the highest pressure no22le on tyres.

I carelessly ran it over my bare foot once, which is also against the rules in the book. :-)

While it hurt like @!@!#%@, it didn't do any permanent damage, and a tyre must be tougher than my foot - just take care, I guess?

that black sandy laomy bog we get on the west coast of tas is great for cleaning tyres!

River crossings and mud tracks works best for me

240 grit wet and dry on a sanding block with running water makes quick work of it. I'mm getting some STT's next week I'll let you know.

I remember someone telling me you can scrub/sand the white to clean/renew the white lettering.
As it comes away to reveal fresh new white.
Need a steady hand one would think.

might have been wire brush I was told, can't remember for certain long time ago.

Go to your tyre place and get them to fit the tyres with the white writing on the inside(why provide free advertising), nice black tyres and bit of tyre shine. Problem Solved.

Discounts discounts did I hear that lovely hidden word that every1 wants but rarely gets these days....
Wouldn't it be nice to take businesses back 15 years & actually get customer service with a smile & definately discounts ???

having run tyre stores for some time, we found just a bit of ct18 or even bead lube and a stiff brush and its gone, that is to say every other brand, never sold cooper just culled the dead and dying ones...but truck wash is king...(-:
