Yeah aqua blasting  :daumenhoch: Its water and extremely fine glass powder. A few people a done skyways on here using it with good results. The place i use said they do quite a few tyres for classic cars to rejuvenate them  :daumenhoch:

Not sure what they would work out price wise, or whether it would work on your tyres   :-\

The place is up in Manchester so even if its cheap once it as been posted twice i doubt it would be worth it. Try looking locally  :daumenhoch:

They look like Babelovely specials to me.  There was a batch of snide Haro tyres in Thailand and they had really dark sidewalls just like yours.  I would stick them on a rider if that's what they are.   :-\

Here are some fake Haro Thai-ers (see what I did there?) for you to compare.   ;)

Try a bit of Cif first. That has a small bit of bleach in it. Aqua blasting would eat those walls away. So don't go down that route.  :daumenhoch:

Right fitted them and they don't look bad at all well I don't think so anyway so I guess that's all that counts, but scratching the wall with my nail looks like maybe a little rub with cif might work so il give that a go stu!:) il post pics on e my photo bucket stops crapping its self!:)
