Wash them with simple green after every run. Keeps the stickiness.

You can make a very good tyre softener by combing about 4 table spoons of "Joes'" pink hand cleaner,a half teaspoon of REAL turpentine (not the synthetic stuff) and a few drops of mint oil. Mix it well,put on some gloves and rub the mixture into the tyres inside and out. Be sure to work it evenly, let them set a few minutes,checking often,and rubbing the tyres to distribute the sauce. After about 15 minutes,wash the tyres in warm water to stop the softening. Myself and a lot of others used this concoction on our dirt oval tyres. You need to be kinda careful,too much turpentine in the mix can ruin the tyres,and about 1 table spoon of mixture per tyre is enough to soften them. Store your tyres in plastic bags with a drop of water to keep them soft. 'nut Last edited by stirlingnut; 05-25-2009 at 01:39 AM. |

There is a product called Brown Foam that works very well.  |

This is by far the best I have found yet, sounds crazy but it works. You too can have soft sticky tires. |

there is a paint thinner called xyol - it is xylene use that on the tires after you wash then with simple green paint it on with a brush and let it soak in - it will make them very soft - you have to get this thinner at a paint store for cars i think - thats where i got mine |

Xylene is extremely dangerous... Please wear gloves and a mask. It WILL cause cancer..
