burn outs.
Tar on the tires
Today coming home from work they were repaving in front of my neiborhood and my tires got covered in fresh road tar and gravel. I tried getting it off with some fun driving and most of it came off but there's still a little. Does anybody know a common method to get this crap off without having to drive like I stole it.

Brake cleaner also works wonders. Just be careful with the overspray, some of them have strong solvents in them.
This woun't hurt the tires.

At first it was like driving on a slip in slide. My tires were driving on tiny rocks. I never experinced understeer and oversteer on the same drive before. When first getting the crap off the front tires ment taking sharp turns fast where I really had a lesson in understeer. Then cleaning off the rears using the e-brake and quick lane changes intruduced me to oversteer. I discovered understeer is better if you have to choose one. By the end of my drive I had 90% of my grip back. Now I get to spend the day getting the rest off by hand.
