    Your curb rash is very minor. The "curbs" out here in Cali tend to do a lot more damage. lol

    I didn’t know slightly grazing meant the entire circumference of the tire :rofl:

    Seriously though, tire armor all may help. If not not sure there any other options.

    Ok. So, I think we all mistook the squiggles on the sidewall of OP's tire to be part of the design of the tire.

    Thanks for the actual response. These tires werent cheap and the asymmetry sorta bugs me. Are we talking like an armorall tire foam?

    Put tire dressing on it and go drive it on a dusty dirt road. That makes them look great!:annoyed:

    I have the same tires as OP and hate it when my dealer puts that stuff on them when they wash my truck because it looks horrible having brown tires after just a few miles of driving on basic graded dirt roads, and it’s hard to wash off. Guess if the OP doesn’t ever go off the pavement it’s ok.

    I’d just wash it with soap and a good brush.

    You’re late. Post number 6 nailed it, with less words, and no smart ass flavoring added. :cool:

    It’s all bad stuff, dirt sticks to it. Why not spray your new tires with gloss varathane, the dirt will come right off!

    No, I read your response. Just wanted to reiterate your advice after the mine field of comedy. :cheers:

    Here’s some great tire juice, makes them look brand new!

    Wipe the tires with used brake fluid. (it's free)

    Buff well with a clean-ish rag that you will throw away. Be sure to buff enough that there is no residual left to 'sling' off the tire and onto the truck.

    Tires will look clean with at most a satin level shine, not all plastic shiny like most tire shines cause.

    And for all you who will scream about slinging it on the paint and causing damage. Re read the 2nd line. Decades of doing this, no damage yet. Even when applied to wrinkle walls which are aired down and flexed more than bro tires at the beach.
