Title: Bleaching White Tyres
Post by: Mr Nice on January 23, 2009, 11:57 AM

Is this ok to do? or will it knacker em?

Brought some white gumwall comp 3s but the white has turned greyish, was hope to leave to soak em in bleach.

Cheers :daumenhoch:

I'm sure there's something that would work but in my experience bleach tends to give them a yellowish tinge - tried it BITD with mtb tyres.
