Pizza and hamburger grease perhaps?
Or perhaps the areas that aren't worn has some sort of non-porous surface that prevents the goo from exiting.
Too bad there isn't documented research about the longevity of rubber compounds. I guess we could talk to the Trojan scientists. See what they say. :dunno

Whoops, I didn't realize someone had already talked about the latex grip stuff. Well at least I gave you the name of a store to buy it at.
Here is a sprayable version

Have any of you guys actually used this stuff before? I'm curious to find out if the resulting grip is "no slip" or not; the original wheels were pretty slick and I'd prefer them to be that way again if possible.

No. Definitely the wheel "rubber" breaking down. I use rubber in quotes because real rubber doesn't break down like that.

No, this stuff produces a smooth finish. On your steering wheel, it might even produce a slicker surface than the original coating.
