they are a micro abrasive. on a wear item like tires, i wouldn't worry about it.
i wouldn't be about to go using those with frequency on a nice part like a saddle unless i wanted the saddle to get worse and worse with time. obviously, it depends on whether the saddle is leather, vinyl, or a different synthetic. for something absorbent like leather, i'd sooner use bleach than magic erasers.

I'd worry about gradual deterioration by using bleach on nice leather but I suppose if you diluted it enough, it wouldn't be a problem. I am thinking about getting a white saddle myself and wonder about keeping it nice. I would guess that precipitation (or more likely, perspiration) would be at the root of the problem but choosing a non-bleeding fabric should also be a priority.
Haven't tried the magic erasers but do notice that they easily take paint off walls, proof of their fairly aggressive abrasive qualities. I might have to try one on my tires though.

i hear ya, mine is a nice light blue from commuting now. I haven't tried to take it off yet, as i figure it'll just get back on there (why make the bed either? j/k)
If you find something that works, post it because i would like a nice and clean saddle every once and a while
