    In my hurry to go out for some beer last night I knocked a bottle of brake fluid over and the back tyres been sitting in it all night. I know this stuff is no good for paint but what does it do to tyres.

    Brake fluid is an oil,therefore use plenty of fairy liquid to wash it or small amount of brake cleaner to disperse it.Use a hair dryer to heat the tyre up then the compound should push out any contaminants left in the tread.
