Presenting & Preserving Old Mower Wheel Rubber?

Hi all, I am not sure of the technical term, so I will just call it "blackening".

I would like to know if there is any way to safely "renew" or "revive" the rubber on old mower tyres? I asked some family members who suggested various things like tyre black, shoe polish, and lanoline. But I find they are not always the wisest bunch to be asking. lol!

So I thought I would ask the expert opinion of this forum. Does anyone know how to safely blacken the tyres on old mower wheels?
