Brown tires?

[JTS]

Meguiars Hot Rims All Wheel & Tire Cleaner, works for me.

In my experience which is limited, blooming /browning is going to happen period due to tire compounds. That said I must add , since Eldorado explained to me the PROPER way of mixing D143 it's been great. Scrub twice, dress tire done move on. Oh and Paul A is always extremely helpful.

Tire blooming (turns brown) for me was on new Firestone tires.

Showed up about 2 weeks after installed.

APC and stiff brush removed most.

Applied dressing.

One week later blooming back.

Strong degreaser and stiff brush removed.

Tire dressing applied.

One week later brown - time to break out the Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner.

Cleaned and applied dressing 6 weeks and still no brown.

Persistance paid off on new tires.

My old ones had no blooming issues but were 1 year old when I bought the car.

Don't think the products used would make much of a difference as they were all high quality but the Tuf Shine has consistantly given me good results.

Local autoparts store had Bleach White so I grabbed a bottle of that and it has been working fine for the past couple of weeks. I always used it when I had Raised White Letters.

thanks for the tips!

I’ve had browning on tires also,some cars worse than others. I have tried many tire cleaning products some good some not so good. What I tried recently was SuperClean, an all purpose cleaner. Did a very good cleaning on some very brown tires.Can be found at most retailers with an automotive department.

D143 for me as well at 2:1. I tried 3:1 but that was too weak. Usually 1 application/scrubbing is enough. Can you share Eldorado's advice? Curious if there's something I'm missing.

D143 at either 1.5:1 or 2:1 should get it. Either that or super degreaser.

Nothing special... Just normL 2:1
We had a thorough discussion about cleaning tires, that's all.

I wasn't following the simple directions, my fault.

[FUNX650]

Browning/ Blooming is an inherent result
of the tires’ manufacturing process: caused
by some of the stuff the manufacturers put
in the tires’ recipe...along with other stuff.

[Stuff such as:
carbon black—(natural) rubber is white].



RE: Brown Tires?
IMHO:
The bigger concern should be when tires no
longer exhibit that characteristic “Browning”.
