I am thinking tire shine may be the cause of your problem.... What kind do you use and how do you apply it?

Al!

Thanks for thinking about my problem.

Unfortunately, tireshine/armor-all, 303, whatever is not the culprit, for the simple reason in that I have never used any form of tire shine, not even Zaino's. I have ALWAYS been the only one to wash the car, so I can say with certainty that no tire shine products have been used on the car.

I stopped using them a car or so ago when I noticed that two days after applying the product (in this case armor-all), the tires turned an ugly dull brown color and that only went away when re-armor-all'ed.

They may not shine, but my tires still look black

I talked to the dealer's service guy this week. He just kinda shrugged and said my only option, in his perspective, is to wait until just under a year is up. If the baked on brake dust causes pitting/corrosion, then I can get them replaced, but after a year the warranty is up.

:shrug:

Thanks again!
