my BFG's have that too. dont know what it's from

 

Have you driven anywhere that you could have gotten hydrolic fluid on you tires? It's a long shot but that could do it.

 

if they are new maybe what ever lube they used to put the tires on.

 

You could always use some bleeche-white and try to get that ring off of there. Just make sure and not let it sit on there any longer than needed. I don't think it would be very good on the finish of the rims if it was left on there too long.

 

bleechwhite for the win.. end thread

 

Mine did that, I just went and had the blackwalls turned out.

 

Your water probly has iron in it and the water lays in the bead then when you run your truck it comes out... thats what i think

 

Careful that shit will ruin aluminum wheels.... especially aftermarket polised!

 

Meh, been usin it for years on my painted alloy wheels.....it does a great job of getting the oxidized rubber off. Just follow the label instructions....

 

Scrub them a brush. That looks like brake dust.

 

I like how a couple of the posters there just totally blow off the tire engineer's explanation. What the hell do tire engineers know about tires?

 

Like I said many posts ago...IT'S JUST OXIDATION!!!!! Interesting that the original poster has all but DISAPPEARED, so no idea about fix, cure, etc.

 

My BFG AT's did that same thing on my 99. I couldn't tell ya if my works trucks with AT's do that, I never wash them...

Hit them with some armorall.

 

x2 on the brake dust. In the picture, you can see a little of it on the caliper too. My advice would be to just scrub 'em real good with carwash soap often.

 

i have almost the same color but on the edge of my tires. i wash it and spray some of black tire stuff, it works but when the tire stuff wears off the color is still there.

 

I bet that they use some sort of chemical or different rubber in that spot on the tire to make it stronger and it reacts and changes color over time
