  • Cleaning Off Blacktop Tar

    I had gotten some blacktop tar stuck to my rear tires last night. Couldn't get it off with a towel and water. So we headed out to a concrete road with 2Liter Mt. Dew bottles filled with water to try and burn them off. Only good video we got. We recorded more but I keep getting a "bad file" error message on the rest of them.

    I didn't stay in it with this one. Should have kept going. The others were better. Blah.

    But it worked for the most part. There is still a thin layer on the tire, but I think a few more of these and they should be clean again. That **** is nasty once it gets stuck on a drag radial.

          sorry - misread

          for tires you could use kerosene to loosen it up and a screwdriver to dig it out
