I have heard baby oil works quite well or a quick spray of WD40

Was going to just rub moisture cream in but thought there might be something better .. baby oil could be good though .. it's gonna push the missus over the edge if she sees me moisturising me tyres

This stuff seems to work pretty well but does leave the tyres shiney...

baby oil may add a little bit of pliability and moisture to the tyre. but just know that most oils of this nature degrade latex/rubber via microtears. oil rots rubber.
