Yesterday, I was forced to drive through a construction zone where they were resurfacing the pavement.
The area was full of tar and it coated my tires really badly. There is so much tar on the treads that the car feels like I'm driving on ice. Any amount of throttle will spin the tires and braking performance has been cut by about 80%. I'm lucky I made it home and the car really isn't drivable on those tires in their current state.
The tar on the tires is probably about a centimeter deep. I tried to scrape some off with a screwdriver, but not much really came off, not to mention trying to scrape it off the treads of all 4 tires wouldn't be practical.
Anyone have any idea on how to get this shit off without damaging the tires?
