Stan's whitewalls

[<imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stan,

Would you be so kind as to tell us what kind of tires these are again? No
quality whitewall should turn yellow within days (much less through the
protective blue film!) unless a neighborhood dog is fond of your car.

I have a set of Firestone 721s on my '67 Crown that still sparkle white after
8 years on the car. I do not dress the tires with anything (ArmorAll,
Endurance, etc.), and clean the whitewalls with Westley's Bleche White and
gentle use of either a sponge designed for non-stick cookware or a wool pad
(not steel wool but the sheep kind... available at most supermarkets). This
has worked well for me.

Have you done anything to the surface of these tires after cleaning them?

Let us know and we'll try to help.

I was so happy a few week back that I found a set of WW tire for my 81 
Imperial.  But had not driven the car a lot with them on it.  They Seem to 
Not handle as goo as I would have thought.  And the worst thing is they are 
Starting to Yellow.  I clean them They come Clean.  Then a few days later 
Just a little Yellowing again. I have cleaned them with Westly White wall 
Cleaner and they still yellow.  I went back to the guy I got them from and he 


was nice got in a new set for me but they look worst even before they are 
cleaned.  The blue film they put on to protect the white wall is started to 
yellow. ????????????? Has any one found a tire that would work for us True 
Original guys.
