Motor oil sling on tires caused veining.

[Lust4Lexus]

Hey folks! I just had one of my tires repaired at a tire place. They removed the tire from the rim and patched it. Apparently, they used motor oil as a lubricant around the bead of the tire at some point and left some on the rim. It slung onto the tire and created these lines on them. When I went to wipe them away, I wasn't able to. It appears the rubber is actually swollen on those lines. I can feel the rubber slightly raised like veins. I did use some dressing on the tire to camaflouge the veins, but will it go away at some point? Minor quibble, but it bothers me.

Yikes, I'd go back to that shop and have a discussion with them about how they're gonna resolve the issue.  ??**MOTOR OIL**?? :wacko:

Maybe this tire place ran out of the proper tire-installation lube (Yes, there is such a thing) and "substituted" motor oil. I'm with Accumulator on this one: take the tire/rim back to "the scene of the crime" (reminds me of Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrey with Office O'bay and the black-and-white 8 x 10 glossy photographs of the Thanksgiving Day "massacre" with X's and O's and a short paragraph on the back describing what each one was; but I digress). It sounds like they where just trying to get the job done with what they had on hand and did not consider the consequences,
