Removing White Lettering from Tires

[Don]

Don,
It sounds like he actually got white letter tires that were not buffed before the left the manufacturer.It does happen,in the plant I worked in 25,000 tires were built every 24 hours. Things happen and inspectors miss things,I have seen an inspection line go down and tires pile up on the conyers,then they play catch up on other lines to relieve the over flow.
The pace that is demanded of tire plant employees is insane.In our plant we worked 2on,2off,3on/12 hour shifts.It`s only 14 days a month,but in that time frame a builder may build upwards of 7000+ tires.The plant I worked in tried to maintain a goal of .10% defects from it`s builders per pay period(2 wekks).

That works for me

Thanks so much, everyone!

This forum is such a great source! Sounds like I`ll simply flip them at some point. I`d rather not mess with the grinding process!

Someone local suggested shoe polish, but that sounds pretty insane to me!

Thanks again!

Scott
