I would just back out of the garage grab a hand full of front brake and throttle dump the clutch, that should take care of the rear. Oh wait I would suggest doing that no matter if the tire had anything on it or not, my bad. I love burnouts

Hit the tires with the pressure washer at the car wash and it should be fine

Put all the armorall on your tires you want it will not hurt or do a dam thing I have used it for 15 years some times you have to let the urban legens bull just slide off.
I repeat armorall will not casue you to cash wreck or destroy your tires.
They do not make a shovel big enought to handel some of this stuff

I have heard of accidents that were attributed to the AA effect on wheels. But it was probably the same group of people that say TBW has caused all of the latest motorcycle accidents as well.

You may do it at 60 years old or you may have done it at 15 years old but just about every honest person here has done the same thing. It's not a big deal unless your one of those guys that uses a ton of it and the tires are slimey. Just about any cleaner will take it of if you are worried. When I was 15 we used to use brake fluid because there was no Armour All.
