Wash them and reapply

IF you're careful not to rub the rims, use one of those dobie kitchen cleaners and some simple green. I have to do that all teh time because my wife gets impatient and has the mobile guy do the car, and he ALWAYS puts the damn shiny shit on the tires.

I use p21s total auto wash and a hand brush.

Both Griots and Mothers make great rubber cleaners for tires. Spray them on and gently agitate the tires. Rim cleaners are just not going to do the job as well.

Bingo, APC and a stiff nylon brush for me.

A quality cleaner should clean the tyres down to the original rubber surface, this is especially important when you apply a new dressing, as dressings won't adhere to, or create the right shine on dirty rubber or silicone residue. This tyre cleaner is a strong concentrate; spray-and-rinse, without scrubbing, if you are starting on an old, neglected surface, use a fairly stiff tyre brush for the first application and a spray & rinse at least 3-4 times a year - Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner

degreaser works wonders on tires...let it sit on and watch the magic happen! then rinse and apply your favorite WATER based dressing!

People, we are talking tires, not rims (wheels). Although wheel cleaner may work on tires to clean off the dirt, it does not generally strip off the old bonded dressings very well (especially if you have months of build up). Tire/rubber cleaners are designed to break down polymeric based tire shine/dressing products. Wheel cleaners obviously don't aim to do this as many sealants are polymeric based. Rubber cleaner is not something you want apply to a wheel.

I prefer to use tire/rubber cleaner on my tires and wheel cleaner on my rims.

Some wheel cleaners are chemically better suited to removing the silicone from tyres than some specific tyre cleaners
