Default Drag radials
I was removing my trans from my car and left it over night and fluid leaked down my floor and soaked one of my DRs.

What do i do. i cleaned it off and used floor dry to help remove the oil from the rubber. is the tire ruined or will it be fine.

Any opinions

The best way to tell, IMO is to put it on and give a decent run and hope to god it doesn't decide to pop or something stupid like that. I really don't see why tranny fluid would hurt it, but you never know.

I don't think it will hurt anything. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

that will also affect the rubber of the tire... even worse then the trans fluid.

usually a DR wont last long enough to have long term problems :-) No, but I wouldnt think it would hurt anything. I would do a nice smoky burnout through to try and burn the fluid out of the rubber once you get the car back up and running.
