If they are for show.....there is a white rubber paint solution which is meant for restoring the tyres on Silver Cross prams...

You can tart them up for a show bike but if they are deteriorated there is nothing you can do if you want to ride them. The vulcanisation process cannot be replicated, reversed or rejuvenated  :(

Have you tried a magic sponge and some Jif? Or is that called Cif over there still?
