Nhaydt92 35 #1 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I just picked these both up the other night and I'm planning on everything I'll need to restore them. I plan on working the 656 and basically just gonna keep the 702 for fun. But anyway theses tires are slightly dry rotted and I believe there original, so my question is there a way to kind of restore rubber or at least maybe save them to keep it original as possible? And also how can I stop the pictures from uploading sideways? Edited June 13, 2016 by Nhaydt92 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,361 #2 Posted June 13, 2016 There is a tire paint that works real well. My tires on my 854 are dry rotted worse than that but they had tubes so I'm going to run them to see if I want to keep the same style or get something different. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,281 #3 Posted June 13, 2016 If you upload your pictures on your computer first, and then load to Red Square...that should solve it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buffaloman 295 #6 Posted June 13, 2016 I don't judge by tread or dry rot , if they hold air ,they are still good , 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,986 #7 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Tread looks better than some of mine. Just keep inner tubes in them, and try some tire paint for appearance (m.e.miller tire) like the used car dealers do it. I like the old zig zag tire treads better than the new turf tires, especially if you're doing a restoration.

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,534 #9 Posted June 14, 2016 I use miller's tire pant and it works really well. Those are good original tires to save. I never tried the ryglde but Craig swears by it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedRanger 1,469 #13 Posted June 15, 2016 That looks to be an aftermarket seat cover. You can find them on Ebay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
