In all honesty the idea makes a whole lot of sense and unless you are being over enthusiastic with wiping the tyres down,then the salt content of washing up liquid is frankly hardly going to do any lasting damage to anything. Good call this though,nice one.

WD40 works well. it improves grip quite a bit, but also makes the tyres degrade faster.

A little smelly but vinegar will work fine to degrease the tyres. Also works for stopping your car windscreen wipers streaking.

The brake cleaner I use specifically says to avoid contact with rubber parts (like hose and tyres).
