Cleaning sticky tires

I got some sticky tires over 80mm wheels for my bot, and, while they have very good traction, I need to run it on some dusty surfaces and still have the highest traction possible after multiple runs. Accordingly, I would like to know what the best way to clean the tires.

Does anybody have advice for what has/hasn’t worked to clean their tires?

Thanks.

Hello.

We have used rubbing alcohol to clean the wheels and that works well. Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to keep the wheels clean for multiple runs. At our competitions, most people clean their wheels in between runs if they have the chance.
