Never saw this on a tire before.

Never saw this on a tire before.
Long story short I blew out a tire on my van last month at a scrap yard while there to unload some steel. I put on a spare that three years ago was the best of the tires on the van at that time when I upgraded to the Goodyear Wrangler series. Just yesterday I noticed some weird discoloration around the white wall and this is what I found.

And another
Though they don't last as long as I would like I went back with another full set of Goodyear Wranglers. Except for mileage (Goodyear claims 50K but I get about 30K) I do like them. I have never gotten stuck in snow or mud with them.

Always pays to buy name brand tires. I also just purchased a set of Goodyear Wrangler RTS tires which I'm hoping to get some good service from. I will say out of the gate that they are by far the quietest set of new tires I've ever had on a Ram van. Now let's see how long they last. At least I got a good price - $90 each installed with new valve stems and speed balanced.
