Re: tire paint?
The white letters are actually molded white rubber. Take some 220 grit paper, and sand off the marker

Re: tire paint?
You gotta ask yourself that question in order to get the answer.
It should be fairly easy. Im not a big fan of white lettering though, so I wouldn't bother. I'd run them as is.

Re: tire paint?
tube cleaner, carb cleaner, brake cleaner, mineral spirits, paint thinner, Westley's bleach white, or sand paper will take it off...
would not worry with the tire paint.
