After I have changed a tire due to leaking air - I took the car out for a spin for the first time in 10 days...

The weather got nicer, and outside temp was around at 50F-ish, and I found a nice road and pushed the car around 5000 RPM through out ~7th gear for little more than 100 miles. I made occasional stops and when I came back home, I found this;




black tar? like substances




I should have taken more pics... there were much worse parts around the body. Inside the wheel arch, especially at the end of fenders, it looked like a wall from a fireplace;;
The traces of the black substances were on doors, around door sills and even there were some on the rear lower side of rear spoiler...

Tire pressure was around 30-ish front, and 32-ish back; The car's mileage is close to 600 mi.

From observing the characteristic of the splash, it looked like the compounds from tire is sticking on the body panel...Is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

did u wash your car at a commercial car wash not long before your outing and have them put tire dressing on?

your tire pressures are spot on...

Tires look glossy. Most likely tire dressing being flung off at speed.

Agreed....

^ if that's what it is, it will come right off with a wash and won't leave any stains

Use Aerospace 303 to dress your tires. Let it dry a few hours before spinning 9,000 rpm.

This is why I never dress my tires anymore....they're so low profile anyways

Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss....leaves a nice black non glossy finish (despite name) ��

rockitman

use this on your rubber parts/tires...no spray.

^^^ This stuff rocks. Perfect sheen for tires with no sling. Just use a foam applicator to wipe it on. Spray it to the foam, not directly to the tire.
