probably from the fact that many guys use DAWN or IVORY dish soap to coat inside a tire in hope of preventing slow leaks thru the sidewall.

When I aired up my new Good Years after soaping the inside with dawn soap ,the next morning my tires looked like a teenage kid. Zits all over them, but they held air.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Its real easy to clean your tires that way... you
dont need to even use soap ... thats just the
soap trying to stop the leaks... if it persist you will
need to soap them again... and let it dry over night
before you air them up

The real reason they are leaching through is that Rays tires are almost as old as he is... But the last time I saw him he wasn't dryrotted!

Were they freshly mounted in the last day or so? The pressure inside probably increased from the heat and squeezed some of the soap out. Happens all the time after I mount a set of dirtbike tires. I've also picked grass out of the bead on my old '67 Imperial, but that was a different type of problem.

It is Dawn, I put it in there. But, that was last year and they dried for 3 days before I had them mounted. I have not needed to add air since I put them on. Just kinda funny to have one look like it is ready to shave.
