The question is has it killed the tyres, I took both rear tyres and put them
at the back of the garage near the front tyres and it looks like the puddle
of petrol engulfed at least both front tyres and one of the rear ones!
I agree with Randall!!!.........I think that modern tires are very neoprene 
like if not neoprene and very oil resistant.......I know the tire tubes from 
the last 15-20 years are......and contain very little if any latex, natural 
urbber.

Hey!..........test it for yourself.........cut off a small bit from the tire 
tread someplace....(you know, like a kitchen match head or so)....put it in 
with teaspoon of petrol in a very small bottle and let it sit.........please 
let 
us all know how long it takes to dissolve!.......I'm serious here, and not 
being funny!!!.......please let us know!
