Is It Normal for New Car Tires to Rust?
1 Answers
New car tires rusting is normal. Here is some relevant knowledge about tire rust: Reasons for tire rust: The rust on the side of the tire is caused by the iron content in the brake pads, which wear down and produce powder during braking. When exposed to water, the rusted water flows to the side of the tire, leading to rust over time. The yellow rust on the outer side of the tire may be the result of oxidation of the new car tire wax in high-temperature environments; vehicles frequently driven in dusty areas may exhibit this yellowing, which is normal and not a quality issue with the tire. Methods to deal with tire rust: To remove rust, use a tire brush and cleaner to clean the side of the wheel tire from all directions, wiping off the yellow stains. Then dry it with a lint-free soft cloth and finally apply a tire vulcanizing agent. When parking, the vehicle should be placed in a cool, flat area away from various chemicals to prevent the tires from yellowing.
