Will Wet Asphalt Corrode Tires?

[DelLaila]

Wet asphalt can corrode tires. Details are as follows: 1. Asphalt is a complex mixture composed of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights and non-metallic derivatives: it is a highly viscous organic liquid. When asphalt adheres to tires, it becomes increasingly difficult to clean, and since asphalt contains corrosive substances, it can cause certain wear and tear to the tires. 2. Cleaning method: Apply tar remover to the areas of the tire where asphalt is stuck and let it soak in. Since tires are made of rubber, the tar remover will not corrode them. Then, use a car wash water gun to rinse off the asphalt. 3. Additional information: Because the sidewalls of tires are very thin, extra caution is required during the cleaning process. If your tires get asphalt on them, it is essential to remove the asphalt promptly while it is still wet.
