Noticed this on my <100km new T30 rear yesterday.
It's not tar & I could rub it off with me finger. Can only think it's release compound under duress. Had no idea there was such a thick layer on the rubber if that's the case.

Is it just in the one area of the tyre? could possibly be the sticker residue from the tyre label.

That could be virtual beersies for you. I don't recall seeing any glue left on the tire but it makes a lot of sense. Similar size area, too.Originally Posted by Danger Dave

Look I think it may be a mistake to totally dismiss the alien theory. Just keep a wether eye on the sky just in case.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Been some strange lights in the sky & loud humming lately... The sticker did come off clean as a waxing strip. Hmmmm.
They might have been washed out of the hills.

Nah, just the guy at the tyre factory spooging in the mould before making yours

Rubber fetishists dream job yah reckon? I will look at my new tires now and know they were made with love and extra stickiness.

To the best of my knowledge, very few tyre manufacturers use a mould release compound any more (Michelin being the exception, who still do use it).
Is there any chance you went through some roadworks, or a recently laid road?

Nay, our roads are fooked after the flooding and it's to cold & wet for hot mix to stay sticky for more than moments.
Label goo seems the most likely but I do like the other theories. An Onanist tire engineer with a rubber fetish will take some beating...
