It is called "blooming", do a search here and on Google for more than you want to know

Using harsh cleaners on your tires will only aggrevate blooming because you are stripping away the protective chemicals that will just come to the surface again the next time you get the sidewall warm. I would stick to plain old car wash soap and a brush to clean your tires.

Just my 2 cents
