Remove White Lettering on Tires

[rrbhokies]

I don't think you can remove the white raised lettering on the Bridgestone Duelers can you? I'm not really a fan of the White lettering. But I really don't want to go out and buy a new set of tires just because of that. Any suggestions for blacking them out? Sharpie? Paint? Anything that may last?

Have a tire shop swap the tires around so the white letters face inward. If you're that worried about the appearance, then you won't be satisfied with markers and paint.

Get a wire wheel and go to town on white letters until top coat is gone lol lightly

Sir, put the bong away!

It'll cost you about a buck or a buck fifty to get them dismounted, remounted and balanced.

Wire wheel, cut the letters off, magic markers....you guys are a trip.

That’s the best way to do it is have them remounted with the white letters on the inside.

I always have all of my tires mounted with the white facing the inside.

Are they directional tires? If not putting letters to the inside shouldn't be a problem. Any tire shop can do this for u

I was gonna suggest a flap disc

Given the option, I'm the exact opposite, lol

Option 1) leave white letters out, you will either get use to them, wear the tires out and replace with new tires without white letters.

Option 2) unmount and face white letters inside, black facing out. Probably cost $20 -$30 per wheel or so to remove, remount and rebalance.

Shouldn’t be that difficult a decision. Enjoy your new RAM!

As mentioned, best option is get them flipped to black side out at tire shop.

I don't think the white is easy to remove either, the white color is deep in the rubber from the tires I've seen, they won't just rub or brush out.

Just rub against a low curb (to not hit the rims)...that should do it...

In case anyone's taking these wire wheel suggestions seriously

The white lettering is actually a layer of white rubber all around the tire that is only exposed at the lettering. That's why when you rub a tire against a curb repeatedly the scuffs turn white. So taking a razor blade to it won't solve your problem. If anything, it'll make the white letters wider and uglier.

I figured that was the case, I know one of the recommend cleaning methods to clean the white lettering is either acetone or a wire brush. If it was just paint, that would actually remove the white lettering instead of cleaning it.

FYI- for those interested, my dealer is rotating my tires for $100 to put the white lettering on the inside. The ratio of $ to "smiles per mile" left on the tires is well worth it to me. I tried using a paint pen, but it only lasted a week or two.

That's the best way to solve the problem is to turn the white lettering to the inside unless you want to buy new tires.
