Thank you for this video it was very helpful,... I guess I just have heavy hands cause I kept digging in the tire.. it does help that my cousin owns a tire shop.. SO SHOULD I JUST LET THE GRINDER DO THE WORK OR DO APPLY PRESSURE...

If you do do this be very F#@&^% careful...if you buff into the actual black compound (not the veneer over the white but the actual Black Sidewall) you will have initiated a crack in the sidewall, so make sure you stop just below the veneer/sidewall junction. Also if you don't buff smoothly then you will have initiated 1000000 cracks into the white compound. And last but not least, the black/white interface will turn yellow quickly because the black still has (hopefully) 6PPD. Not worth it.

video looks backwards. like as if he is grinding the white wall off the tire to the black under neath rather than the black off to the white underneath.

@0208anthony Yes it will work, and you want to use very light pressure.

Does ths work for motorcycle tires as well?

@jasonsps78 It will work on motorcycle tires with white letters or narrow white walls, but even I do NOT recomend it. Even though I haven't had a single problem with this method, it's just not worth the risk on a bike. Losing a tire on a car is one thing, losing a tire on a bike means seruius injury or death.
