Hey guys, the tires on one of my riding mowers are a little dry rotted. They still have good tread, and they all hold air, but they are "dried" out. There is a tiny bit of cracks in them, but they are really small. The sidewalls feel kind of like sandpaper, and they are grey in color. I know getting new tires is the best option, but I can't afford that. So, what is my options to repair or "clean" them to look newer? Thanks!

You could probably wipe them down with just about any kind of oil...

On a motorcycle or RV? take no chances.
On a lawn tractor? if it holds air...

Still, put tires on the short list of parts to be buying.

tube them so you can run them out of tread
