[DeTomaso] rusty tires?

[Jim Kosloskey]

I queried Michelin about seeing this on my Motorhome tires. Their response
was what I was seeing is the oils coming out of the tires which keeps the
tires protected and is normal and necessary for tire life.

They also indicated treatment with a non-petroleum based tire treatment will
temporarily relieve the look but it will return.

Mine do the same thing, and yes, it comes back.

Do your tire sidewalls ever get that brownish almost hazy rusty look?
This seems to happen on some of mine over time.

I bought some stuff called Shin-Etsu grease to use on all the rubber trim on
my S2000. It conditions it and makes it stay supple and effective.
The Honda crowd swear by it and it works great for that. Of course I think
it could be used on any rubber trim on any car safely.
So I decided to try it on one of the Honda tires which are not quite 3 years
old but showed some brown hazing developing. It's always garaged right next
to the Pantera so it's not because of too much sun.
I put a little of the miracle goo on a rag and applied just a small amount
then wiped it down with a clean rag.
It's been about a month and it still looks good.
I've used other tire treatments in the past and the hazing always came back.
Or it was too shiny and looked like poo.
This stuff gave it a nice dullish sheen like a fresh tire. At first it looks
semi shiny but after a day it calms down.
I'm not sure how long it will stay looking like that but I'm happy to
finally find something that actually looks good and doesn't harm the rubber.
I bought a tube from Handa.com for about $13.

It may be hard to see the hazing in the pics but hopefully you'll see the
difference.

Just wanted to share a tip to hopefully keep all your tires looking fresh!
