I have a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers and no matter what I do they always seem to have an orange tint to them? The tires have about 5000 miles on them. Any and all help is appreciated in advance.

what are you using to clean them? use a good tire cleaner and a brush scrub them and then put some dressing on...that should handle it

I haven't put a dressing on them, but digging a little deeper I found this....

Apparently there is a chemical in the tire rubber that causes the brown stain to occur. Soooo...... Food for thought for anyone else who runs into this.
