How to remove white wall lettering from tires (hoosier slicks)

- I took a quick vid of removing the white lettering from my hoosier slicks with a quick simple method.
Products I used were:
Citrustrip (home depot)
Painy brush
Nylon brush
Brass brush
Large bristle nylon brush
All purpose cleaner
Micefiber towels
I just tried this on my new MT front runners. The citrustrip works great! I did not let it sit for 5 minutes. I dipped the brass brush, and went to scrubbing. Very minimal effort and got it all off! Thank you
Great video! I’ve also been told brake fluid works well…especially since it’s not a petroleum that’ll HURT the tire but will in fact PROTECT the rubber, just as it does brake hoses👌🏼
I prefer tires mounted black, but just bought a used Blazer with Goodyears. This is what I had in mind to do. Thanks for the video. Big help to see it done first.
I know I'm 5 years late to the comments (lol) but awesome video man. Looks like I will be going to Home Depot after work to get me some citrustrip.
Thank you! I’m going sleeper mode... this does the trick! :)
Excellent video, quick and simple, thanks!
A nylon wheel on my drill worked very well.
Awesome video dude. I was going to go with drag radials instead just because of the Hoosier white letters. Now Hoosier d06 compound it is👍🏻
You got it!
Exactly what changed my mind 4 years later👌🏼
Worked perfect on my hoosiers 👌
Fantastic video, thank you very much!!! 🦶🏾
Thanks for the video I try on my new Mickey Thompson Lengends
Is this for stickers OR the OEM white letters that came on the tire from the manufacturer? I have Bf Goodrich KO2’s that have white letters. Thanks.
Thanks brother… I love the school of UA-cam… Ha ha
Nicely done bro! 💪🇺🇸
I'm going to give this a shot, thanks!
Vary helpful! Thank you so much!
Some CRC Brake Clean on a rag and wipe off the white. Takes 5 minutes, while on Weld Delta rims.
Really u got pics or video
Agreed, and it doesn't harm the tire I've done it literally hundreds of times
I don't put it on a rag though. I usually unload some out of the can then scrub a touch of necessary, the use the brake clean to hose the rest off. It literally takes like a minute
should i take my rims off? they are painted with plasti dip
I'd say to just be careful around the areas with the dip. If by chance you get the stripper on the wheels just wipe it off as soon as possible.
Actually works in bf goodrich radial ta, tires??
Nice video bro thanks
Excellent how to video, thanks!! Does the rubber suck up any of the citrus paint remover? I want to remove my lettering and then repaint it in yellow and hope the new paint will take
Cuzntime it doesn't look like it did since I wiped off the paint remover quickly afterwards. I Still have them and they still look great
What do you think of the gasoline method? I need to remove some lettering. Someone used one of those tire ink pens on the tires I bought
Looks better with the lettters
I agree. I’m only here so I can remove Hoosier’s sloppy job so I can do it a little more accurately lol
Absolutely NOT
Think tphis wPill work for other tires found in here some firestone destinations A/T for $ 130 originally $ 234 but there white outlined. Thanks
Wow that got all messed up hopefully you can make it out thanks 🙏🏻

badass
Do NOT do this trick with the tire mounted on the wheel. Especially if you have black painted wheels like I do. Ask me how I know.....
Those are some big onewheels
does paint thinner work
Would this work on white walls?
I'm not sure. I guess it depends on if it's paint or dye in the rubber. The tires I used in the video is just paint.
Would acetone work on the letters? Nail polish remover?
It might I'm not sure, I didn't try.
WD40, Brake Clean with some towels takes 5 min. Do it all the time, but was trying to find a way to remove the raised rubber part and not look horrible...
@@christophercrafts8283 can we use chain lube instead the wd40?
was the lettering painted on ? or will this work on all white letter tires?
Randy Smith the lettering was painted on by factory. I'm not sure how well it would work on other branded white wall tires but it's worth a try I suppose
sadly it did not remove the white from the lettering, but it did cleaned the lettering as snow white as the day it was bought, i don't like that shiny tire look,i used the armor all matte finish and it looks good...lettering clean and white tire jet flat black...removing oil off tires?? ..i use a mixter of 1/2 dawn and water cleans all the oil off... adios amigo
Will those soaps damage my chrome weld rts rims ?
I'd avoid getting the stuff on the wheels because it may etch them. Better safe than sorry kind of thing. Mask them off if you can
just take a trash bad around them
I herd brake cleaner takes it right off
Bingo, thats what I used and it comes right off
your welcome for you 100th like on this video
Why...🤦♂️😢
To get that horrid white lettering off👌🏼
