Algae on tires - problem

[retiree-urgency abandoned]

Finished mowing today and hosed down the bota. Noticed some green algae in the tread of the tires. Could wipe it off with my finger, but not with normal hose nozzle pressure. It's been pretty humid down here in the holler for the past week. Just curious if the algae is a problem, indicative of a problem, etc. and if I need to scrub it off.

No problem really But you could use some algicied on them.

It is probably chlorophyll from the vegetation you were mowing, it will not hurt a thing.

Algae will grow in the damp and in the shade...

Use a pressure washer to get it off

AKKK! Get it off quick! Green does not belong on Orange. It won't hurt a thing, in fact I'll bet the next time you run your machine it will be worn off.

I spend enough time keeping it off the house and sheds. Tires are on their own
