Painted Tires
I know this title sounds wierd but i have got a serious question. Today while leaving for work some idiot put paint in their trashcan which spilled out on to the street this morning. I ended up driving through it & splattered paint all over the left side of my car. I immediately went to my friend's shop & pressure washed the car and got all of the paint off with no damage to the paint on the car. I took off the wheels tonight after work and cleaned all the paint off that & off of the wheel well area. How do i get the dried paint off of the tread pattern of the tires. This paint i forgot to mention was pink so you can imagine how pissed i am. I pressure washed as much as i could but the paint is on my brand new tires. Any suggestions?

on the tread ? a nice burn out and that'll be gone
on the sidewalls gas on a rag should cut it off then spray it down with water to make sure there is no left over gas to dry the rubber. then apply some tire dressing.

eagle one all wheel and tire cleaner. 5.99 at autozone. if not that then depending on what kind of paint some paint thinner or gasoline on a rag should do the trick. as far as the tread i wouldn't put any products on there. just let it wear off or if you can just a quick burnout to take a little layer off. as far as fronts, i have no idea haha do a little nascar side-to-side scrub on the highway but not near any cops for certain haha

Well the person broke the law by placing paint in a trashcan. It has to be disposed of properly. The idiot has to pay for any damages caused to your property. If you really do not like them... sue them. I would get a police report. As to removing it, all the options above would work.

this is going to sound stupid but earlier tonight i was wondering about how tires with colored rubber might look. Imagine customizing your own tires to the color of your choice. 
I cant possibly imagine what other color tires i would have on my car other than black but i could see it looking good on some kind of ricer car. 10 bucks says it will emerge from japan sooner or later.
