can you clean tyres in the washing machine?

[scant]

I havent found anything yet that will get 15yrs worth of grime out of amberwall sidewalls.

Because Kaiser did it, I put some Contis in on a quick wash. [For the uninitiated, that's less than 40 degrees and a lowish spin.]

Didn't get the grime off. Got caught pulling my rubber out of the tub. The machine keeps giving out plaintive error messages.

Even though I know the tyres didn't harm the thing, it's not worth the trouble.

All future knobblies will go to the dry cleaners under a pseudonym.

My skinwalls came up pretty well with Autoglym car interior shampoo and a scrubbing brush. Much better than washing up liquid anyway.
