Just wondering if you apply tire dressing to the part that touchs the ground {I think its called the thread} Would a aromor all tire shiner do a decent job?





P.S. Anyone know a good CHEAP metal polisher? {chemical guys gallon is soooo expensize

I use an eagle one dressing applicator, and usually it touches just the edge of the tread.
 
Hold on... You're not supposed to apply dressing to the tread. It will seriously impair the traction of your vehicle. I think evenflow was trying to say that he uses an E1 dressing applicator, and it only touches very little of the tread.
 
lol, that would kill your traction for the first 100 feet, but i dont think it would even last long enough on the tread to be a big deal.

But I'd sure hate to be the rare instance where it *did* matter :grinno: A few years ago there was a news item about a car wash where the combo of their slick tire dressing and the standing water from all the wet cars caused a serious accident. A car pulling out of the carwash experienced momentary zero-traction, and you can imagine the rest...

I use Original AA for wheel wells -- cheap, looks great.
 
I use AA original on tires. It is cheap, can be buffed to a nice matte finish and has decent longevity. I do not have issues with rain or water causing running. I also use it for my wheel wells as mentioned above. It is cheap and available OTC in gallon size. Never once have I experienced premature tire failure due to continued use on the rubber. The label even states that it protects and reconditions rubber and vinyl.
