Full Version: Whitening tires

I have an old set of NOS white barefoot tires that are a tad yellowed. I'd like to make them bright white. Any suggestions on how to do that?
I could try bleach but I'm afraid it will rapidly dry out the rubber. I really want to whiten these things.
Any and all help is apreciated.

Westley's Bleach White at auto stores, is less potent than pure bleach and water.

However, you may still need to juice them up afterwards.

I am not sure that will take the yellowing out, or not. Some white plastics actually change color, and get yellow, in sunlight. I wonder if white tires do too? Or if it is just grimey stuff. I will be interetested in knowing how this one ends...
