whiten up white walls
 

any ideas to brighten up old yellow white walls. Ive tried everything including very strong bleach. It seems as though the white rubber cannot be penetrated.

How old, it might be time for new tires.

Repaint the whitewalls, tire lettering paint sticks

I asked about age because tires have a lifecycle in years also not just tread wear.

I'm with Lynn... White wall paint.... :)

Thanks for the replies. The tires are 255 - 70 - 15
Not a size you will find with whites anymore. I will try the paint - good ideas

Here is a "Down And Dirty" way. :) >>>>>>

I remember years ago when my dad was cleaning our old car he would use an SOS pad on the white walls of his tires and they would brighten up greatly. I would assume you can only do this so many times before they are junk but it worked good from what I remember.

i use soapy water and #0000 steel wool; never let me down!
