With all respect and curtesy to Allen's response, I respectfully disagree.
the general rubber treatments avail from the usual auto supply places aren't
necessarily the best thing for your tires. ie: Silicone based products are
the worst for rubber. It adds to the deterioration process. Look for a
rubber treatment product that is "Silicone Free" such as Zymol (expensive);
Vinylex,, etc. The best stuff I have found is ever used is Wurth rubber
treatment. Spray can, not cheap, but lasts longer than the othes and doesn't
give an ultra shiney appearance. Provides a more lustre look to the rubber.
Just my two cents.
