How to get paint of from tractor tires.

Foam oven cleaner works and you can use soap and water to clean off the foam and keep the chemical from staying on the tire too long to cause damage. Makes old tires look great.

To all who spend many hours restoring any tractors, spend a little time before painting covering the tires with masking. Doing so will make less work in the long run. Paint on the tires ruins a good paint job, period. Any type of solvent used on tires new or old will speed up the aging process. Good luck & ttyl.

I've used lacquer thinner with good results getting enamel off tires, don't know about the new catalized paints tho... Good Luck.

My experience with paint was a few years back so I might not be right on top of your problem, but if the paint is a catalized urethane enamal then you have your work cut out for you I'd try the reducer, and if that doesn't work I'd ask a body man. If it's a lacquer then the reducer used in the paint ought to take the stuff off. After cleaning I'd say check out the new generation tire cleaner/protectorants and see if there's something there that tickles your fancy. Automotive magazines run quite a few ads and there seems to be something better then Armorall on the market now. Have fun, Me
