Hello,
My wife happened to ride through some fresh tar this evening and got a little bit on her tire. (Just a 1-2" section on the front tire) The tires are Specialized Fat Boys for what it's worth. I used some simple green and a soft-scrub sponge and managed to get most of it off. There's still a thin layer of the sticky stuff. Are there any tips for dissolving tar without damaging the tires? Anyone have any experience with this? I'm guessing that the remainder will just wear off from normal riding, but I was curious if there's a product that works well for this situation as I'm sure it's going to happen again. Thanks in advance!
