i'd go and buy some ''OOPS'' and try it on a little peice of tire first by applying it with a rag, to see what it does if anything to the tire, then if nothing, that should do the trick for ya for removing the paint

at my work (a car wash) a guy came w/ spray paint on his CAR....i got it off....using a power wash gun like 1/2 inch away from the paint and our "prep" which is an acid....so go get some acid rim from a car store anything VERY acidic, go to a self powerwash your own car and continue to spray acid on it...POWERWASH...spray acid...POWERWASH....good luck....
