Actually, there's a product called Bleach White that you can get at auto parts stores that people say does a great job of cleaning the tires and getting rid of chicken strip lines. Just spray it on and hose it off.

Im sure there is a product, but I just don't get why people care enough to try and "hide" chicken strips.

umm wrong, there is nothing you can buy to just wash them off. Yes the 'shiney' maybe washed off but only n00bs n squids would think it was from riding. Anyone else could tell the diff between washed/sand papered n actual scrubbed in from riding

I think that sums up who would ever even think about doing this to their tires....

I would equate this to people who buy mud and cover their truck/suv with it to make it look like they went off-roading (and yes, this does exist)

Are you kidding me? That can't possibly exist.

Though, why should I be surprised...douchebaggery is so prevalent nowadays.

its all about riding position and technique hit up a track day and do some learning, i took my bike to the dragons tail (deals gap) wore both the stoppers on the pegs to a flat bottom and still had some chicken strip, dont need to not have chicken strips to prove your a good rider, i saw guys draggin knee at the dragon still have strips on there tire, i could care less what other people say when they look at my tire and say... "oooohhh look at those" if they wanna show me up they can check my rear tire at the track if they can keep up lol
