Weird problem with my tires and washes

[calvin]

At first I thought the brown rust colored stains were coming from the wheels finally getting REALLY clean with the armoral wheel cleaner + the snowfoam but I later realized it was coming from my TIRES!



Anyone know what could be causing this? I don't use the AA on the tires but the snowfoam does get on them and this brown stuff runs off and will even stain the driveway unless I hit it with a degreaser and wash it down.

could be old dressing, or just road gunk from driving.

It's happened the last half dozen times since I started snowfoaming. I live in FL so idk how much gunk would be on there.



I've used Eimann shampoo (Eimann Fabrik Gentle Shampoo), 3d snowfoam, and meg's gold class, also meg's 00 wash all with the same result.



Just want to ensure I'm not damaging/drying out the tires.
