Default Tire is full of water

Hi when I clean my car and it gets to were I have to clean the tires and when I do it gets full of water and I just have a question. How do you guys get the water out of the tires? I squeeze them to get most of the water out.

The best way is to not get water in the tire to start with. Get yourself a tupperware container, a brush and watch this (not so greatly filmed but you get the idea) video.

Otherwise, to get water out, yeah, just try to squeeze it out and hope you're not running open cell inserts as water really eats those.

Do a few high speed runs on a strip of Tarmac. Better though just don't get them wet.

If you have access to a vacuum pump and a good sealed metal container the vacuum will remove the water for you, will take some time though.

Clean your tires with a metal wire brush, keep water away!
