White grease marks on tires

[BroncoArea51]

Ok so I took delivery of my 2022 Badlands with Falkens tires in July 2022. So the tires came with white grease marks on tires. I have tried everything get white lines off of tires but can not. Anyone else have white grease lines. If so how did you get it off?

Yes please photos. Can't picture this at all where you can't remove grease.

Are you sure it's grease? If it were, it should come off. Any grease I've been associated with wipes off, and never dried to a point were it was fused to a surface.

I believe I had the same thing happen on my Falken tires, I had them installed from Discount Tire and they had a grease that dried white (I really think the grease wasn't white it just picked up dirt and looked white). It wasn't very hard to get off, I washed the car and scrubbed the tires really well and added some Tire Wet tire shine after it dried. Haven't seen the marks since, even now that the tire shine has worn off.

So I have used cleaners and recently a gas power washer. Which lightened the white marks. It almost looks like when the parking checker chalks a tire . I know this is a dumb thread but every time i go to the city i think did i just get chalked

@BroncoArea51 if there is a Discount Tire store near you, have them use pre buff tire cleaner. That will take the marks right off.

I would try some Bug and Tar remover. I use it all the time on my tires before applying tire dressing.

This is after a year and hitting it with a pressure washer a day ago. Thanks for the suggestions on cleaners
