Personaly, I try and remove most if not all of the logos from my rims. I haven’t gotten to the point of removing all of the logos from my bikes, but most of mine are not too bad. Compared to my other bikes, my Specialized cross bike seems like a rolling billboard with the size of their name on the downtube.

Example Trek appears on a bicycle 4 times with the Bontrager name 28 times and the “B” logo over 100 times.

Maybe the best idea would be to take a lawn dart and stab your logo plagued tire right in its hot patch.
Most mountain bikes look like rolling billboards for the component manufacturers.
Remember when a product was recognized by it’s unique quality without plastering the name brand on every part.
