Scrape carefully with a razor blade or putty knife and just let the rest wear off? I wouldn't want to put any kind of solvent on a tire. I hate it when my pretty blue tires get tar on them, but I just let it wear off.

A few miles from the end of my ride on Saturday, I noticed a big patch of something on my front tire. Apparently I rode through something gooey and sticky. It looks like chewing gum, except it was a big patch -- 3-4 inches long and a couple of inches wide.
I removed most of it with paper towels, but there's still some gunk stuck to the tire. Anyone have any suggestions for how to remove it?
Thanks!!

ice it, then once frozen you should be able to pick it off.
