Fellow Imperialists,
In a recent
discussion with my tire man who was rotating the Coker's on my '56
Imperial, I noted the 'swirls' and the apparent cracking on the sidewall's which
I diligently maintain, these despite only about 5,000 miles on them. His
response was that the 'Tire Clean' products are the cause of this as they are
silicone-based and expedite the drying out of the tire. He said a
wipe shine of clean oil or even WD-40 --or anything petroleum-based--
is the only thing to use on tires. Clean with soap and water and if that
isn't yet a 'look' you desire, then it is oil to achieve the shine.
Any thoughts on this?
