The problem is how the radial WSW tires are made. The black rubber underneath the WSW leaches oils and stains the white. Some cleaning can help but it will come back. You can check out other car web sites. It is a huge problem with concours judging of Corvettes for instance. Diamond Back Tires places a barrier between the black and the white to prevent this. I have a set on one of my cars and have perfect bright white WSWs for three years now. I also have not had a problem with any bias-ply WSW tires. right now I have an 8-year old set from from Coker. Perfectly white. But radials WSW tires from Uniroyal and BFG have turned brownish. After too many sets of those, I have learned my lesson: Diamond Back for radial WSW, and Coker for bias-ply WSW.
