Ladies and gentlememes ...
I recently acquired a fairly nice, old tan-wall tire (Ritchey Megabite) that I'd like to use for show 'n shine purposes only, but the sidewall rubber is a tad on the dry side (not super bad, mind) ... and I'm wondering if there are any preparation tricks or chemical substances that one can employ to re-moisturize and/or re-supplify (werd) the rubber ... so that they spoon onto the rims without damage to the bead or sidewalls?
