Best advise, as stated in the link.

Be sure to use note cards instead of tape going around the outside of the lip(makes it alot easier)

I heard about that too. The only thing is to be careful not to knock it over or have it move out of place. So I would combine both, but taping down the cards after cutting it smaller, and cover the rest of the tire to protect it from overspray.

cards >>>tape>> newspaper

If the above make any sense.

Yep that's exactly what I do....lay down the note cards then tape them to the tread on the tire. Works great!!!!!
