Default Smelly Situation

So this is a weird question to ask, but here it goes.

Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of the smell of skunk spray from tires? I know somebody will ask how that happened so I'll tell the story. I was coming home from work late last night and I came around a bend and the little guy was standing in the road and I couldn't get out of the way in time. I'll let you put the rest of the pieces together. I'll felt bad about it, but he must have sprayed full force when it happened because now both my passenger tires wreak of skunk spray. It's tough to even get close to the tires to scrub them down. I'm hoping that the rain will just wash it away.

I'm not about to start putting tomato sauce on my tires either lol

Any help would be appreciated.

go find some soft dirt or sand, air down and wheel half the day. It will wear it off. That is what I did after hitting one. Worked

Wheeling sounds like an excellent solution lol

Spray them down with Simple Green, let them sit, then wash them off.

Hold the gas and the brake and roast the smell off

Or spray bleach white over the entire tire, let it sit for a few and then wash it off.
