Duck / Duct / Gaffa Tape. Might need a little white spirit to get the sticky off after is all.

Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.

HI

I would make up a template out of card that covers the tyre leaving the wheel exposed. Then tape this to the tyre on the edge neareat the rim. You can re use the template with new tape on each tyre which will save masking time. I would have thought normal masking tape would have done the trick provided you haven't used the sray on tyre cosmetic stuff eg Tyre Black. This contains silicone and whilst it makes the tyre look good for a while, is very difficult to stick any tape to. A clean over with white spirit should remove it and then once the painting is done re apply the cosmetic treatment. Of course the best way is to get the tyres off.
