White tire letter removal...???
Is there an easy way to remove the white letter paint on tires?
I think I heard about a way once, but can't remember now.
Thanks.....

I googled it and found some tire markers. They look like crayola crayons but are more permanent.

The white is not paint, it is actually part of the tire. You should just reverse them, or you could try the cover-up route but I don't have any experience with the effectiveness of that.

Seriously, I took a large SHARPE marker to mine and it's holding. The white area is very porous so it absorbs anything you put on it. I know it sounds crazy, but it worked for me.

As a kid I used to work at a car dealership during summers. One summer happened to be when all of the new car spare tires showed up from the 1970's rubber / tire shortage. I mounted over 300 spare tires along with the usual requests.
On request was to black out the white lettering. They had a black tire "polish" or paste you just applied to the letters only. My guess, you could probably find this at an autoparts store. However, once finished, you would have a considerable amount left over. Do as others suggest and reverse the tires. Or, I like the Sharpie suggestion
