Default brake fluid on R tires

I overspilled a little bit of brake fluid on a brake job last night, one of my R-tire is soaked with the fluid now, what would it do to the tire?

I would hose it down. I have seen a trailer tire get damaged (dried and cracked) because of a brake fluid leak.

Wash it with soap and water. Some uninformed racers think that soaking their tires in brake fluid makes them stickier. It only makes a big mess.
