Tire Covers cont...

I was reading the other thread about covers and was wondering if anyone has ever questioned covers causing tire damage. The photo below is a relatively new set of ADCO covers (two months or so) on a new set of Goodyear 614s. There is a noticeable brown stain where the tires contact the covers. Could the covers be drawing out any important chemicals/oils from the new tires?

I would remove the cover and see if the stain is on the inside of the cover. That brown color looks like dirt on the outside.

I have only ever had that happen once on my tire covers. Our prior rv ( class A) the tire covers leached out some of a protectant that my rv dealer had treated the tires with.

There is really nothing to be concerned.

Or are the covers reacting to chemicals in or on the tires?

Were the tires sprayed with anything?
I spray our tires with 303, if you rub the tire it will leave a stain on your clothing.

I don't know. It is an interesting question.
Hopefully another member has the answer.
