tyres soaked in diesel
« on: 25 May 2012, 06:13:46 pm »
what's best to clean them with? drove (very gingerly) to a dusty car park and did a few laps to get some crap on the tyres and have ridden through some muddy puddles as well.
should i be worried about rubber degradation etc.

Why did you soak your tyres in diesel?

Or how did this happen?

there was a pool of it sitting in a dip by some traffic lights..... :\
i was a few vehicles back and just went with the flow, too busy looking for a gap to nip through and then the back just span up, the front washed out, only some frantic dabbing kept it upright.
