Anyone else steering wheel "leather" dissolving in front of their eyes?
Had a humid morning today, and it was soft enough to get all over my hands, now my hands are all black.
Just a rant session, carry on

Same thing is happening to mine. It started happening last year during Camp Commander after driving ridiculous number of hours each day on the way out there. Deinitely moisture related. I moved my hands to a different position on the wheel to let it 'recover'. There is still a worn spot, but at least it's not coming apart anymore right now.
I'm going to try a wheelskins this summer...
Found the thread.. lol it seemed like i was one of the few that thought about this too.

I've had Jeep Speed Grip cover on mine since the day I got it... (actually it was a gift) And a really good one.
Yeah I am having some wear issues on mine as well.
