Re: Brown tires - can't fix
You mentioned Mothers. Did you use this specific Mothers tire cleaner?

Re: Brown tires - can't fix
If your tire is STILL brown after thorough scrubbing and cleaning, then its not because its dirty. The rubber compound and conditioners in your specific tires are just formulated in such a way that they are causing a more brown-ish appearance.
Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do about it.
The best you can hope for is that if you continue with a regular maintenance of cleaning the tires with a quality tire cleaner (NOT dish soap!!!) and maybe, just maybe in time the brown color becomes less brown.

Tuff Shine tire cleaner got the film off my new tires and left their white walls nice and bright. Set aside plenty of time for scrubbing.

IME especially when tires are new you sometimes really have to go at them to get that initial film off them. If you have a Tuff Shine Tire Brush or similar they tend to work best at it.
Spray the tire, scrub, spray again, scrub then rinse. Or if it was me I’d go 3 rounds of spray & scrub before rinsing once and repeat at least twice. After the 3rd time of scrubbing and rinsing you should hopefully start seeing the rubber turn a deep clean black.
Sometimes you’ll literally see that brown film peeling off as you’re scrubbing it with that Mothers tire cleaner. If that somehow doesn’t work Stoners Tarminator would be my next bullet, but the Mothers should work better leaving the tires properly clean & black.
Using the tuff shine tire brush. Went 1 round with the Mothers before I ran out. Switched to the Turtle Wax Hybrid solutions tire cleaner, 2 bottles and did 2 rounds on each tire. Crazy but if there was any improvement it was minimal. Had some basic TW tire cleaner in garage so tried that as well. That's when I gave up and put on the VRT. Supposed to be nice this weekend here in Iowa so maybe I'll give it a go again. frustrating

Get a tire brush that fits a drill. Will save you a lot of time and energy. If using Tuff Shine..scrub till the foam is white and not brown.
