How to remove tire marks from hardwood floor? - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I had tires delivered a few weeks ago for the accord. I ended up taking them inside, putting them in the foyer on the hardwood floor. A few hours later, I moved them into the basement until I can get to mounting them. Well, I left a perfect thin black ring on the hardwood that I can't get off. I tried using household cleaners, Goo-gone, paint thinner, and it doesn't do anything! FWIW I had them on the basement floor (pergo) and I could wipe the marks off with my finger down there.

Any suggestions for removing this black rubber mark without sanding our eating the floor up?
