CLEANING - TIRE
Remove the protective coating on the tires before delivery. The coating could cause deterioration of the tires if it's left on.
To remove the protective coating:
1. Apply warm water to the tire.
2. Let it soak one minute.
3. Scrub the coating away with a soft bristle brush.

NOTE: Steam cleaning may also be used for cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not use gasoline or a wire brush for cleaning. Also, do not use mineral oil or an oil based solvent. This could damage the tire.
