aging tires

by doug Dec 6, 2007 at 05:51 PM

Sorry if this isn't exactly a Corvette question but it does relate to
tires.  What is your thoughts on cars whose tires begin to crack on
the sidewalls due to age even when the tread is still pretty good?
One tire guy told me to prolong the life of the tire, use Armorall on
the sidewalls but I'm hesitant to do this because I recall in the 70's
that some were doing it to their dashboards and then they cracked and
others said the cracking was due to the Armorall.   Hence I hesitate
to put this stuff on my sidewalls.   Is there any stuff you use to
prolong the sidewalls from cracking or is this all a myth?

Also do you think at some point the cracking is dangerous to the
remaining life of the tire?  


Thanks all.

ps--  I chose this newsgroup over others because I think you guys are
real car enthusiasts compared to the other groups :)  .
