It's graphite powder. Any good locksmith will have
a lead on where to get it. They use it as a dry lube
in car door locks, etc. My local guy buys it by the
pint bottle and loads up a small squeeze bottle
that has a tiny metal tube for a tip.
Once you have some in hand, spin out the cores in
the tire valves which will deflate the tires, then use
a tiny funnel ( or a sheet of paper folded into a V )
and put about a level teaspoon into each tire. Then
reinflate the tires.
Make sure that the wheel bearing grease is not
insulating. the rims / wheels from the spindles.
There maybe a spring clip that is missing or
maybe needs to be added.
That should take care of the tire static.
