I just picked up a Stingray slick and it has some fat cracks in it on the sidewalls But I just cant throw it away, I heard something about superglue to fill in, but have yet to try it, so what have you done to save them old tires ,pics are good.
 
Never tried super glue, what has worked for me is saddle soap and duct tape. The saddle soap cleans and softens the tire up, then I layer the inside of the tire with duct tape. Works pretty good, but now I'm curious to see some super glued tires.
 
I've got some old hard whitewalls for the next annual buildoff I need to restore. I wonder if that tire shine greasy stuff for car tires has a special lubricant.
