I've found it most noticeable on the FreeStyle tires -- especially the bigger
ones, but also a big problem with even the small Town tires. For at least the
last 2 years we've had to seal every lot of tires we sell separately into a
separate bag to seal the oil, and wash our hands immediately after handling
them so the oil doesn't get onto the other parts. It's too bad LEGO ships the
tires in bags with other parts.
BTW, I've only noticed the tire oil on non-Technic tires. The huge ones don't
seem ever to have this oil. Weird.
