Tar very much

RichardJ · 07-03-2016, 04:52 AM

We had our road tarmac'd last week in a rather unusual dark maroon colour. It hadn't fully dried when I drove over it so now my tyres are covered in dark red marks. I hope most of it will wear away but I'm looking to VT my car in Sept and I doubt the marks on the sides will clear any time soon. Normal car wash product hasn't removed it.

Would regular tar cleaning car products be OK to use on tyres? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

My local Albanian hand car wash will remove anything from anywhere.

Find someone nearby who's just had their drive done in black, then drive over theirs before its dry to cover the marks up.

Or just sand it off by hand with some 120 grit

Or just not worry about it, I can hardly see dirty tyres affecting the value. Having said that I suppose this is BMW

Im VT'ing the car in a few weeks so will check with bmw finance, I'm sure they'll do anything to claw back money from me!

A few hard corners will surely get rid of that

I could soon get rid of that

Learn to love sports mode and your paddles it will be gone quickly.

Just give the car a good lot of hard driving.
