Working on a Ford NAA. Have a gallon of Miller Tire Company tire reconditioner. Have never used this product before. Could you help me with the following :
1- How should I clean the tires ? They are in reasonable shape but show a little oxidation etc.
2- Is there a temperature range to use this product ?
3- What application method should I use ie brush, wipe on with a rag, or spray ? I woud prefere to use a brush if it will
give reasonable results.
Many thanks for your help !
 
Is this the tire paint that Miller offers? Been a few years, but I think it was fairly straight forward when I used it. I cleaned tires with a hefty dose of dish detergent and water, then rinsed off really well and let dry. You don't want any detergents or silicone product left on your tire before painting. Then just followed instructions: Tires on rims and inflated, 50/50 mix of paint and water if I remember right. Mix a small batch first; a very little goes a very long way. I used a sponge to apply. I didn't pay much heed to temperature, but I suspect warmer would be better to make the rubber more pliable and apt to absorb the paint.

You'll be surprised at how well this stuff makes the tire look. It doesn't do much to fill cracks, but certainly improves the look.

Thank ypu for your help. Yes, it is the material sold by Miller Tire Company. The gallon that I have says it is ready to use. I think that means that I do not to mix it with anything.
Once Agaim,
Thank you for your help.
 
Contact Ed directly and ask him. I was told by a Firestone engineer that all those so-called tire reconditioners are not to be used - they will ruin rubber faster than anything.

Many thanks for your reply. I do not know who Ed is. Could you help me out with some information so that I can try to contact him ?
I appreciate your help.
Thank You
 
Ed Miller, owner and CEO with wife Bev -- two great people. Call them and chat, very friendly and knowledgeable people... I've bought all my tractor tires from Miller Tire since the 1990's.

You might need to clarify what product this is. Some of the silicone products (or 'rejuvenators') can certainly do some damage, but in my (albeit limited) experience, the tire paint from Miller isn't like these as it's entirely water-based and pretty tried & tested. It's what tire re-tread companies paint the tires with after a retreading to make the tires look new.

It's sold on this site, and lots of guys here seem to like it (see link).

I should add that while I'm pretty sure the Miller tire paint doesn't do any harm to tires, I'm also pretty sure it doesn't do anything to rejuvenate or protect them. It might offer a tiny bit of UV protection, but it's really just a cosmetic thing. To this end it works quite well.

I used it on a few tractors I was selling. Don't any more because there are no longer any Canadian distributors and you can't ship paint across the border without a huge fuss.
 
Hi Tim,
Talked with Miller Tire on Monday. They said their product is actually a paint (Really a stain). They have sold it for quite awhile, and they are not aware of any problems.
I made a mistake calling it a reconditioner. It is a paint.
Thank you so much for your fine help. I appreciate it very much. Plan to try it on two front tires.
Many Thanks !
