Yellow writing on tyres
When tyre monkey put the MTR's on he used the standatd yellow marker to write FRONT / BACK on to them (based on balancing) - you can just see it on avatar - top left of wheel
Yellow writing hasn't worn off - suggestions on what to use to get it off without damaging tyres?
Friend has suggested a dab of parafin?Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

As the yellow marker was (probably) wax crayon, I think that "Black Wow" would be ideal.The Bearded Dragon

On vehicle shows, I understand Cola is used to make tyres look black.
As it is commonly available, you could give it a try...
