Title: 1980 Tyres skinwall part dried out..anything i can do?
Post by: Brandy Truffle on January 08, 2008, 07:21 PM

Got set of 1980 tyres that came on a survivor,tread is virtually new,but the walls have dried out in places.
Is there anything i can do to improve appearance,tidy them up some?

Any sort of chemical i can put on them to bring them back (ish) to life and give them an overall same colour on the skinwall?

 ???

A few people have tried Wynns Tyre Cleaner, someone once told me linseed oil is also good but I've never seen it used  :daumenhoch:.
