But yes you can see something on the tyres when it's slippery.
It's not regular chalk, that's calcium carbonate -

French Chalk

A natural compact talc made from a soft magnesium silicate mineral (MgH 2 (SiO 3)4) also known as Steatite or Soapstone.
It's a dry lubricant, so only way to get that off is wipe it off, maybe with a moist mop.
