paint in the road!

i drove over some red paint today, that someone dropped on the road. pressure washed most of the crap off the left side but now the left front and rear tires still have the red paint on some of the tread.

need some advice as to what to use to get the paint off or would it be best to let the dirt from offroading, eventually eat the paint away?

step 1) turn on truck
step 2) rev to 3.5 grand
step 3) dump the clutch

repeat till there's no more paint on the tread.

Why are you worried about the paint that's on the tread? Won't it wear off in time? Moved to our detailing forum.

paint on truck

Dude, try using "Bug&Tar remover or Superclean. If that does not work, get a polishing or restoring compund (NOT a rubbing compund, too harsh)
