Silicone based tire treatment?

[FastGT94]

I bought this stuff at the last Chicago Auto Show that is a Silicone based tire treatment. I've been reading mixed reviews about silicone based rubber treatments. Some even say that silicone based treatments will dry out the rubber.



I was just wondering if someone can shed some light on Silicone based tire treatments and if they are safe to use.



Thanks!

It's a very popular subject of discussion here. I assume you mean the dimethal silicone oil ( clear) variety.



Here are some "oldie but goodie" threads I found helpful:
