    I’m telling you give Bleche Wite a try. It should take the brown off.

    What you are seeing because of an additive called antiozonant. It protects the tires from the elements and without it you tires would crack and dry rot.

    This is driving me crazy. My tires “bloomed” too. Going to try the Black Magic Tire Cleaner - let you know how it goes.

    It will come right back until the tire is fully cured. Even if you put some kind of tire dressing on them after cleaning, they will still turn brown. Trust me, it will go away...eventually.

    When I used to auto detail I had good success with P21S degreaser, a shit-ton of scrubbing, and a water based tire dressing that actually soaks in, like Optimum Opti-Bond tire gel.
    That's an oxidized top layer of rubber that needs to be mechanically worked off, then the rubber permeated with a "hydrating" compound to prevent it from immediately re-occuring.

    I'm just going to buy a set of Cooper's and get rid of my headache trying to keep 2 tires from browning. And nothing will touch the new tires but soap & water. No tire cleaner or tire shine!

    I use Ajax and a stiff bristled brush. If your tires are new, (looks like they are), they will do this for a little while.

    Try this (Amazing Roll-Off):

    Seriously.

    Wet the tire, spray this stuff on, and then agitate with a soft bristle brush. It'll start foaming a bit as you agitate it, and the foam will turn brown. Hose off. Repeat as necessary.

    I've used many products in the past (including Bleche Wite), and this is the one I keep coming back to. Works great on WeatherTech floor mats too.
