Aging new tires and your methods

I'd be tempted to use a light brown colored Minwax oil base stain. Scuff up the tire with a scotch brite and soap, then wipe on wipe off the stain.

Sounds like a possibility but will the chemicals in the stain degrade the rubber?

I would love to tan up the bright ww’s in my 41 Columbia.

Revisiting this thread in case anyone has new suggestions, or before/after pics of their process. Looking to age a set of tires I have!
