Dry Rotting Tires

[dorus]

The only product that has done very well for me... Renew Protect line.
It actually penetrates and seals dry. I only reapply 3 or 4 times a year. Pretty simple stuff to use... and , never use silicone products like Armor All.

Great thread/topic. I own a 06 F-350 dually with 44K miles and recently noticed all tires are starting very fine cracking. The tread all the way around is holding up great, but I'm wondering at what point do I seek replacement....
Unfortunately I don't have space for storing the beast inside, so it sits outside all year. And, I work overseas so it sits unmoved for 6 weeks at a time.....
next house will have a BIG garage....

In lieu of cloth covers for my trailer tires, I use scraps of cement board. They are heavy enough not to blow off, light enought to move by hand and don't rot when left in contact with the ground. I just lean them against the side to cover all of the tire. And cheap to considering the price for RV tire covers.

Another associated concern: conveyor belting. Would "Renew Protect" work to keep those from rotting?

i can remember my grandpa putting brake fluid on the tires and the cracks would go back closed
and when he saw um opening back up he would do it again
one time right after he put some on the tire i put a small stick in the crack and the next day i try to pull it out and couldn't
(i got in trouble for that one) lol
gary...
