UV tyre damage -
 

Peeps,

Mate of mine is suffering bad UV damage to his tyres (Avon) and they are barely 2 years old. He asked me if I knew of any solutions/products that work.

I don't - do you? :confused:

Anyone?

2 obvious choices

1. Drive it in the dark only, perhaps not entirely practical
2. Amazon sell stuff called sunblock for tyres, unlike answer 1 I’m not joking!
It’s expensive however.

:tup:

Avon tyres (ZV3's?) I find are bad for cracking.

Michelins used to be bad for this too.

My new Michelin Primacys only lasted 5K and 18 months ........never again.

Only mention this for balance, I ran nothing but Michelin Pilot Exalto PE1 then 2 for years with no issues! Lasted 3-4 years, kept outside used daily. Only stopped using them as Michelin don't make them in a 205 50 R15 any more:(

Regular tyre treatments maybe? (autoglym):confused:

For balance Autoglym tyre treatment was used regularly. Bad batch of tyres.

Will count myself lucky then :tup:

For balance... :ihih:

I have a 1992 Alfa Romeo garage queen that still has three of it's original Goodyears.

They still look perfect & don't lose air.

For regular driving I would of course change these :smilewinkgrin:
