So my white wall turned yellow.
It's just an aesthetic matter, but it's not as sharp as it used to be.
Can anything be done?
Thanks!

The old Schwinn whitewall tires would get yellow or discolored over
time. They would clean up with some bleach (diluted) and a stiff brush.
The later Miyata tires had a different texture to them however, and
bleach didn't have much effect. On those we used Armor-All Cleaner (not
the protectant you usually see). I don't know if that's still on the
market. Formula 409 also worked, but not as well. Keep the brush
handy...
How cool or uncool a whitewall is has much to do with what the specific
tire looks like, the unicycle it's on, and what you do with it. They're
great in shows...
