Re: Very brown tires help :-(
A little more info? Maybe a pic or two? Browning of tires is generally from brake dust, so spray on some APC and give them a wipe.

Re: Very brown tires help :-(
Use any of the following on tires only except Optimum Power Clean. The others are pretty caustic and care should be exercised when using them on any wheel, especially uncoated. A good tire brush will help as well.
Zep Purple 4:1
Zep Citrus full strength
Meguiar's APC+ full strength
Optimum Power Clean full strength
Chemical Guys All Clean+ (start with 10:1)

Compared to some brushes I've used, I really like the Mother's tire brush because it is very stiff. It makes short work of brown tires paired with an all purpose cleaner

That's a reason, for "browning", that I've never heard before!!
-Besides ingredients like carbon black...
Modern tire formulas will include antiozonants that will work their way to the outside surfaces of the tire
-When these antiozonants do reach the outside tire surfaces, and are exposed to the ozone that's present in the air...
They turn "Brown"...Otherwise known as "Blooming".
That's the brown-film you see on tires.
-Even when you wash/scrub away this brown film-layer;
and, if the tires have not reach the end of their service-life...
The "browning/blooming" will return.
It's an ongoing battle to keep some brands of tires, moreso than others: Clean/Bloom-free.

You just need to scrub them (with your selected cleaner/APC), rinse, repeat until the suds don't turn brown any more. If you're looking for something OTC, I didn't see anyone mention Eagle One A2Z.
