What makes tires brown ?

All this time I was thinking it was a combination of tire shine products, mixed with road grime (which is rediculously greasy, grimy, gummy $#!+ to remove)

But then it dawned on me... the little tires on my boat trailer, had gotten REALLY ugly brown, even though they had never seen tire shine products, until recently. They were just kind of "flat" brown. Tire shine made them black again.... but now they will probably be all gummy and effed up if I keep using the tire shine

Keeping these tires clean, and black, is just getting to be more of a PITA than the whole rest of the truck combined !

Hmmm,

PS, Figuring out the Ice trick on my Satin Black wheels, just makes the tires look even worse.... because you have "actual black" right there to compare it too
