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?

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.

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

Michelins used to be bad for this too.
