New Avons: Removing label sticker glue

[ZZZzz]

 

[Groo]

I bet ZZZzz's rear tire doesn't have any sticky residue on it... except maybe rubber... :clapping:

BTW, I ain't washing them, I'm trying to get some glue off one spot that's attracting nice slippery stuff like leaves, sticks, etc... so that when I take that first turn I don't have a whoops....

......

Oh, never mind :angry2:

Ok, now you're just making **** up.

Ok, now you're just making **** up.

You got me...

I had nothing else to do but start new useless posts so people can rag on me...

You got me figured out...

...not.

BTW, nice piccie there ZZZZZZ.

So wheatonFJR...where is the picky of your burnout to rid yourself of the dreaded glue stickiness factor?....

 

[sleddoc]

Stupid question I'm sure... but (besides obvious "TWN-like" answers like "burnouts" :dribble: )
How do you guys remove the label sticker glue from your new tire tread...

A little rubbing alcohol on a rag and 20 miles of a little caution and then rap it up tight an go.

How do you get burned rubber off your driveway?

I had the same question two days ago when I put on a new Avon rear(puncture wound, free replacement- Yea Avon!). The labels stick like crazy. I gave up trying to peel it off. Went for a 5/10's, 100 mile ride- had to break in tire anyway. Label is now litter on the sides of the roads in northern Mass and Southern NH.

Next I was going to try WD-40

What?! I don't have to do a burnout? :angry2:

I love doing burnouts- I try it just about every time I ride my brothers bike.
