Default Blacktop on the tire???

I was parked on a relatively new parking lot yesterday. When I left, I took a chunk of asphalt with me on one of my tires. I clunked all the way home.

I am going to try scraping it off with a wire brush tomorrow, but that's all I got for solutions. Anyone else got any?

This is a good argument to never go on blacktop again?

If you were able to chill it in some manner you could likely just peel it off...

Drive to Canada.

take an old flat-tipped screwdriver and scrape it off. the rest will self-clean while driving. Ain't you ever stepped in a fresh cow patty while wearing cowboy boots?

That's quite the comparison cowboy. Never thought of quite like that, but you're right.

Thanks for the info.
