Default Toyo T1r Question

For those who have the T1R's I have a question..Do your sidewalls turn white when driving in the rain..Ive noticed the few times I ve been caught in the rain that my sidewalls turn a chalky white.Its not the tire dressing(Black Magic ) as Ive used that for years on other brands and never saw this.I thought the first time it might be release agents but it still happens..Any thoughts??

Never noticed anything like that. I have the wheels off the car for the winter so I can't check either.
As far as tire dressing, I just use the spray on kind. None of that heavy wet look stuff.

Does that help at all?
