Paint stripper and tyre rubber

5035 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  iowazx6r
I've looked at the instructions/advice for stripping paint from the wheels whilst still on the bike. It doesn't mention anywhere about taking precautions and avoid damage to the rubber.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Is this an issue? I've contacted Bridgestone, for example, who don't know! I've just fitted new BT012SS', and I'm reluctant to be a guinea pig!<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

Has anyone had any problems?

Thanks

I did it with my tires on and had no problems that I can see.. after I was done I took some steel wool to make sure I got everything off of the tires themselves because the aircraft stripper is some nasty sticky goop and it will make the stripped paint stick to the tire among other things...
