Gumwall tires weeping?
I am looking to get some gum/tan sidewall tires for my gravel bike. I had some Panaracers before but after a few rides they develops horrible gray stripes in the sidewall. Panaracer was great and replaced them but these too developed the same problem. What's the deaL? Are there any out there that do not develop this problem?

I think all tan side wall tires develop this problem sooner or later. It seems to be a common problem. If you have disk brakes, inner tubes, think sidewalls and use higher pressure, it can mitigate it some. But black tires just don't show that type of mark...

here is an extreme example of a very thin sidewall tire run tubeless and low pressure. Damage to the sidewall is causing excessive weeping.
