On a track day last week my oil cooler failed, resulting in oil getting on the tyres. I would be grateful for suggestions regarding cleaning tyres or should I throw them away?

If I were you i'd get as much oil off as possible using a degreaser of some description and then just drive on them, Obviously a bit gentler than normal at first!

A good degreaser should do the job.

spray them with brake cleaner, then scrub them with fairy liquid.
