Deteriorating tires...

Hmm Intresting. I have hear of this before but I can't remember what was said about it. SOrry I am of no use...

are they firestone? those tires peeled off the explores

Pfc. Green : If all tires deteriorated evenly and at the same time.That could only mean that environmental factors could have caused them. I am not sure though.

Jwest: Not really. But when applied too thickly, sometimes clear coat develops cracks especially when applied on rubber.

Does acrylic dull coat also deteriorate the tires? I have an Acadamy Flanker with the vinyl, misted with dullcoat. It has been almost 2 years and so far so good

No paint, no clear or dull coat.

Sorry, but I can't resist.....Have you tried Armor-All?

Yeah, sometimes the tires react with certain chemicals in paints and glues. The Auto guys hate vinyl tires. There is a way you can prolong the life of these tires... spraying them with... something i can't remember.

There was a thread about it in the Auto section, but it was fairly old, and got sweeped out when the admins did some spring cleaning. Try posting this question there!

What paint did you use for the tires? Did you use any clear or dull coat?
