Best way to get rid of the white writing on tires?

Anyone know the best way to get rid of the white writing on tires. Just picked up a pair of Pzero Silver Pirellis and was looking to remove the white PZERO on the side wall.

Black marker, or shave it with a exacto knife. What ride is that? An old A4?

thats jus a random pic i found on google probably an older s4, but i got 265/35/19 Pirelli Pzero Silvers on the rear OEM sport 19 inch rims. Only reason i got em was because they were discounted to about $110 USD a tire on Tirerack

I can't speak to exact tire itself, but often people mount the tires with either the white letters (or whitewalls) to the inside. They are usually just white on one side, but they probably are directional, so that may be different.

Apparently, you can park it anywhere in New Jersey and never see those white letters again.

Nah, most white letters (and sidewalls) are white rubber, not just paint, so you can't just scrub it off; you have to cover them up somehow...
