I bought some tires from an individual and he wraped them with packing tape to keep the address lable in place. When I removed the tape a few week later it left the gummy residue behind.

I have tried bleachwhite and a brush so far with little results. Before going out and buying goo gone and any other product I can think of I was hopeing someone had had this problem and could point me in the right direction

Thanks...
 
100% ispropyl alcohol. then make sure you dress the tire.



or, you could just put them on the car, STOMP on the gas and smoke off the gummy residue:lol and if you do it this way.... please remember that :showpics
 
kempie- Welcome to Autopia. The alcohol is a good starting point, very safe, won't damage the tire any. If it doesn't work, you'll have to get more aggressive. Goo Gone (or equivalent) or an Adhesive Remover (3M makes a good one, or Wurth Cleans-All) will remove the tape adhesive residue, but it can/will also react with the tire's rubber (the problem is that the adhesive isn't all that different from the tire's rubber), so be sure to go easy and wash the tire afterwards. MINOR solvent damage will gradually disappear.
