How do i remove white paint scuff marks from my maroon Mitsubishi Diamante?

The beads of the tire are made of high tensile steel wire to allow it to anchor the tire to the rim. The bead is coated with bronze or brass coating for achieving adhesion with the rubber. The liner is made of halobutyl rubber which allows them to be "tubeless." Tires many years ago had to have inner tubes to allow them to hold air. The plies of the tire are made from a rubberised textile fabric such as nylon, polyster, or kevlar to give the tire strength. Radial tires get their names from these plies since the fabric cords cross the carcass of the tire at 90 degress, radially. Steel belts are made from rubberised cord and provide reinforcement to the tread. The tread is made of rubber compounds which is formulated for the type of driving the tire will see to give the proper traction for the conditions. The rubber itself is made by mixing all of the compounds that will make up the tire, putting it through the process of calendering and extruding, and then they build the tire, and then perform the vulcinization process (curing) which is done by adding sulfur to the rubber (Originally thought to be invented by Charles Goodyear, but later credited to Mesoamericans in 1600BC.
