Tires need help
Our Trailer tires almost always time out before they wear out. Has anyone ever used any type of tire dressing or rubber preserving product to help prevent cracking and sun damage?

I do not think that any of the treatments are cost effective,, Same goes for fabric tire covers. IOW, the money spent on them over the life of the tire will not result in a savings over just buying new tires a little earlier. The fabric covers available can help, but they themselves breakdown, and they are not cheap.
Thr best thing I have found is to make plydood covers. THey work as well as the fabroc covers, and will last many times longer.
Mine were cheap (free) to make as I repurposed the plywood from an older project tht was no longer needed.
At best, you will gain one season out of the tires by covering them.
The very best thing to do.....Camp more.:B
