blue tires
Believe it or not, it's probably blue-green algae. Algae lives dormant in some arid soils. Your tires may get even more blue temporarily after you wash the jeep because the water will awaken the algae for a few hours, like a rainfall...

I know it sounds kooky but there really are all sorts of bluegreen algae and cyanobacterium in soil...

I used to get this all the time on my dirt bike and sand rail. Bring them back from the desert and wash them. The tires had a blue tint to them after they dried. The water activates the algae to reproduce.
