I think my tires are melting.. - August 07, 2006 08:28 pm UTC
The average daytime temp here has been roughly 105F (~43c) making for one smoking hot Talon, not to mention pavement.
I was washing the car yesterday, and I noticed around my wheel well/fender lips a tarry black spray, almost as if I had been driving through some black goo. It wiped off easily enough, but the cloth was ba-lack.
I have never noticed anything like this before in my years of driving this car, and thought:
"Wow.........I wonder if I really am melting my tires in this heat", because I couldn't determine any other reason for having this debris on my fenders.
Oh well. It still beats knocking out caked up snow in the rims that cause the wheels to be off balance.
