Default Softer tires?

I’m reading WD40 softens tires, has anyone tried it? I have an older set on my Wraith that could used some help, seems to have gotten harder with age. I would have thought it would make them to slick

I would start by cleaning them with simple green.
The no prep drag guys do this, and it’s a different tire.

Bigger issue will be those foams, they dry out and turn to dust

Usually an petroleum product will make rubber break down faster or a tire break IN faster.

Quite simply, softer rubber grips a dry surface, while hard rubber tends to slide over it. That grip is essential for acceleration and cornering as well braking, softer tires do a better job of getting you going and keeping you safe https://www.collegebasics.com/blog/best-research-paper-writing-service/
