The methods to remove asphalt stuck on tires are: 1. Spray a dedicated asphalt cleaner on the tire, and after the asphalt softens, use a small shovel to remove it, or repeatedly wipe it with a cloth; 2. Use boiling water by pouring it over the asphalt and then scrubbing repeatedly with a brush; 3. Wash the tire with soapy water and scrub repeatedly with a brush; 4. If the asphalt has been compacted over time and adheres to the tread patterns, it needs to be handled at an auto repair shop. The methods for maintaining tires include checking the tire pressure, which can be judged based on the standards in the car maintenance manual, and promptly removing any stones or foreign objects in the tires.

I've seen tires stuck with asphalt countless times. After decades as a mechanic, my go-to solution is buying a dedicated automotive asphalt remover spray. Apply it, wait patiently for a few minutes to let the chemicals break down the grime, then gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush – don't press too hard to avoid scratching the rubber. Finally, rinse thoroughly with a hose. No professional product? No problem. Pour warm soapy water on a towel, cover the stain to soak, then wipe – it works surprisingly well. The key is avoiding metal scrapers or similar tools that could permanently damage the tire surface and reduce lifespan. After cleaning, tires regain their shine while preventing premature wear from accumulated dust. For prevention, try parking away from hot asphalt areas and check tread condition during every car wash to maintain driving safety and balance. These simple steps with proper tools solve the issue effectively. Make it a habit to extend your tire's service life.

Cleaning asphalt off tires is actually super easy! I often tinker with my car and have many methods. Buy a bottle of universal cleaner like WD-40, spray it on, wait a bit for it to dissolve, then wipe it off with an old T-shirt—super convenient. Or use a life hack like applying a layer of peanut butter, covering it for 5 minutes, and the oils will soften the asphalt for easy removal. Wear gloves to keep your hands clean, and rinse the tires afterward to make them look brand new. This DIY method saves time and money, leaving your tires sparkling clean, so you won’t worry about stains next time you drive through a construction site—just try these methods, and the results are fantastic. Also, let’s talk about wheel maintenance: regular cleaning reduces wear and tear, keeps your car in perfect condition, and ensures a smoother ride.
