Tire Conditioner.
« on: January 31, 2010, 11:53:15 AM »
So I was wondering .. they make conditioners for tires right?.  The R comps I have the rubber feels a lil tough if ya know what I am saying..

Is their something I can put on their to bring the rubber back to life alittle?

Bleach?
Rubbing Alcohol?

I've also heard tire conditioners mentioned, but have no clue where one would get more info about them.

Bleach and alcohol seem like a bad idea though.  Also remember they get softer when heated(in use).

There are products you can buy which supposedly re-soften old compound. I believe conventional wisdom sez it's a minimal effect if any. Hope you've got those babies stored in a warm place, bagged and out of light to keep them in the best possible shape.
