Question What is the white stuff smearing wheels after installation of tires?

Weather was terrible.. snow , slush , freezing rain .. ouch . Service was scheduled was installation of my pirelli RFT's with my local dealership . I braved the weather and made it. Prize - A bmw loaner .. great so far. Got a call in the evening that my x3 is ready to be picked up .
On visual, I did not like the looks of my new tires and wheels .. white grease like stuff smearing all of the wheels and tire sidewall.. I thought it's slush from the road test after new tire installation and went home. Nope the white stuff stayed over 3 weeks over a couple of washes and disappeared only after I manually wiped all wheels and side walls. What is it ? Just curious. Had changed tires several times but never came across similar white greasy stuff before.
