If it's specifically made for tires I seriously doubt it eats them. The
problem with regular bleach is that it's (usually) mostly clorine. Clorine is
a nasty little element that just loves to "eat" things, especially organic
compounds. Ever notice how nice and white your clothes come out with a cup of
bleach in tub filled with 5-10 gallons of water? Notice how said clothes also
last half as long as clothes you don't bleach? Now pour straight bleach onto
your tires and imagine tons of little clorine molecules saying "PIG OUT!" all
at once and your tire going "IEEEEEKK!!!" (I do have a super sensitive
microphone recording of this very thing in a .WAV file. -_^ )
Truthfully though, I had a 100% rubber ball I used to play in our swimming
pool with. After about a year of this it started developing cracks and hard
surfaces. If only small amounts of clorine did that, I can only imagine what
pure stuff would do to tires.

What about that Westley's Bleach White stuff that you put on your tires to
get them all nice and clean. Will that have any affect on them? Like
weaken the side walls or something. Just wondering.
