markemarkMineral spirits, which is a paint thinner and cleaning agent. Methanol will work also.

If your friend is embarrassed to run Hoosiers just tell him to paint M/T on them after removing the Hoosier name. lol. I know an ex world champion stock and SS class racer who used to paint Hoosier on his Goodyears because he was sponsored by Hoosier but the goodyears worked better on his car. Couldn't tell unless you bent over and looked real close next to it.

I think it's strictly about looks and I feel the same way. Paying $850 for a pair of tires should relieve the buyer of advertising if he wishes. What happened to only painting one side of the tire, or is that only done for the fronts?

1320racerRemoving the lettering is an appearance thing mainly for those with door cars that want the appearance of a street car. Been there, done that for too many years with my Chevelle but no more, I have race cars and race cars have the manufacture’s name brightly painted on their tires.

DLRI love my Hooisers, but that lettering is ugly of uglies. I like my tires to be clean looking so the white gotta go.
