Tire Paint Removal

Does anyone know how to get the white tire paint off of the Hoosiers and the ET streets? I just want a black sidewall like the fronts.

thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Tire Paint Removal

Some laquer (sp?) thinner in light amounts will take it right off. Just dont use too much. I am sure that nail polish remover would work the same as well.
