They didn't look like this yesterday and I didn't decide to give them a chameleon paint job today. There is only 1 of them that doesn't look like this. There is no film or liquid type feel to the tires, if anything they feel a bit dry. There are under 300 miles on these tires.
I am thinking I should bring the truck back to where I had my tires put on, this doesn't seem normal to me.

I appreciate any insight or help on this one!

Might be the stuff they put on the tires to make the beads slipery to mount them. I would try to scrub them with a good wheel cleaner first. Should come off if that's what it is. I just had both tires on my bike changed and had to clean them before I put the wheels back on. There was this funky stuff on em'.

I'm diggin' the wheels :thumbsup:

Try scrubbing your tires with a nylon bristle brush and a good cleaner, then put some tire dressing on, should be alright. Nice wheels!

I'll try that out tomorrow.
I'll add that yesterday was the first time I took these tires on a highway trip and had them rolling at 70mph in the nice FL heat.
Previously it was city and under 50.

Yeah it looks like "bead soap" residue for mounting them. Get them wet and scrub them good with some car wash detergent and a brush and rinse them really well. Then hit them with a little tire dressing and you should be good to go.

I went out and scrubbed one of them. I am going to wait to apply dressing until I see if scrubbing them helped any. Will check in the morning and see if it got rid of it.

The other thing to remember is that they might be seeping a little extra oil from the manufacturing process since they got a good run under their belt. It might just be leaching off the excess oil.

Those are NICE wheels...where'd you get 'em and how much?

Thanks!
Local shop.
No idea the cost, wife picked them up for me for christmas.


I guess I will update this thread.
I cleaned the tires up and applied some dressing, they look nice and black now.
