Drive the car and it will wear off.

OMG! I thought I had heard some absurd crap on here but this might top them all. I’m sorry, but this is what to worry about in today’s world? Seriously, there’s tape stuck on my tire!

I can't think of a good way to get rid of it; I think you should trade-in the car as soon as you can, and hope that the appraiser doesn't see it.

Sheesh, kids today! Simply wrap the rest of the tire with duct tape, and re-wrap regularly to greatly increase tread life.

Now who would leave a good piece of duct tape lying on the road like that?! What’s wrong with people these days?!

Leave it there you never know when you might need it.

Ok ok ok maybe someone on here will help you out and take that car off of your hands. It will have to be at a substantial discount because of the Tape situation. You just can’t duck these kind of problems.

I'd be more worried about the resulting vibration he's experiencing from the out of balance condition he now has. I say even it out by putting matching strips of tape on the other 3 tires to compensate.
