1. JTracey Says: I want the lettering to stand out more, it looks almost faded. Also, the rubber it self looks close to cracking and I've tried liquid tire shine and I hate it, I've found it does more harm than good. I want to be safe on my tires but I want to get them looking like I bought them again.

2. Dr. Beasley's Says: The best thing you can do for your tires is to keep up with them. As they get dirty, clean them regularly. For washing, use a degreaser or normal body wash soap. A tire brush with softer bristles, such as Tampico, will help remove debris from the rubber surface and a brush with tougher bristles, such as Brass, will help to clean the lettering and other areas that may be a little tougher.

After you've cleaned thoroughly with the soap and brushes, you'll want to get a good tire conditioner, not a dressing. Dressings tend to simply coat the surface with a gloss, while a conditioner penetrates the rubber for better results. Once you apply the tire conditioner, let the rubber absorb it and then wipe the excess with a cloth and you should be good to go!

Hope this helps!

3. Eric Says: use purple power degreaser soap or bleach white tire cleaner. to get the lettering to stand out more go to your local hobby shop buy a paint marker that matches the color of your lettering and trace it. it will only last a few weeks but looks good while it last
