I've been having a look at the tyres for my 1/12 M23. There's a very prominent moulding flash line around centre. Can someone help with a good practical way to remove this?
many thanks

I used a dremel with sander attachement to take the tread off my MP4/23 tyres But I'm assuming you'l want to be leaving the little diagonal indents? I'd be very careful!!

I'd be very careful!! Yes I want those indents but also a slightly scrubbed look to the tyre surface. Thanks I'll give it a go. Really don't want to flat spot them ...

Hi Malc, I would use some fine sandpaper with a sanding block.That way you only remove what you want & they will look like a used set of tyres.Stu

Thanks guys. I had a go with the dremel tool and the finest sanding drum that I had but it tended to snatch at the rubber so I used a sheet of P100 and plenty of elbow grease. Finished with 1000 grit. The result is not bad but that mould line is difficult to completely remove.  RM1 attached the following image(s):
