Removing Paint From Tyres??

[GavinDavis]

Ive got an old set of red tyres with loads of tread left that came on a donor bike that i bought.  The previous owner had painted the mag wheels in blue by hand and had unfortunately got a fair old whack on the tyre walls ....I was wondering if there was a way of removing the paint?  Ive tried paint stripper...albeit b&q's own brand rip off of nitro mors but it hasnt touched them at all?

Can i pretty much presume these are scrap now?

Actually no, I havnt......hmmm its worth a shot though.  They seem too good to ditch just yet, why do people have to do a real cowboy job eh!

nice hot dishwasher cycle might help 

or a good soaking in some very hot water

Aqua blasting will get rid of it if the tyres are worth it
