It's very common. You may be able to slow it down by cleaning the tires thoroughly with a good tire cleaner and a brush and then applying a tire dressing. It will eventually come back. It's is not a defect and will not in any way damage or shorten the tire life.

Pretty well known with General tires. One of the reasons they last forever. It can be cleaned off and covered with protectant if it’s an issue for you. Not a problem with your tires though.

Jinx! The Generals on my 2006 Escape were the best tires I ever had on it. They were Brown colored just like the Escape!

Just tell people it’s dried on mud.

My Goodyears were starting to look like this too. It’s annoying, but at the end of the day I kept telling myself they’re just tires on an off-road vehicles. They don’t need to look brand new.

I also started getting browning on my BD General Grabbers, then found this. I highly recommend if you can commit to applying every 2-3 weeks.... even every 4-5 keeps the brown away, just won't be ultra deep matte black past 3 weeks.

Like 604 said, even my OEM Goodyears are doing this. Just need to clean them or let them be basically

So are my Toyos. Get'em dirty and don't worry about it.

KO2s do that too to an extent

Glad to know that I can get away with doing nothing, which is my natural inclination with things like this...

I use another Adam's product , Adam's Wheel & Tire Cleaner, on my Grabbers. Also with a stiff wheel brush. Its nasty stuff but it takes the bloom right off.

Dupli-Color Tire Paint.


Honestly, I was originally posting "tire paint" as a joke... turns out that there is actually such a thing. Who knew?
