Re: My Install Thread!! (Wheels, Pacesetters and more!)
i have seen a ton of tires prematurely cracking due to tire shine. plus, if you put tire shine on it and drive for any "any" extended period, it just collects more dirt and puts it on your car.

This is from Tire Industry Association - TIA
Myth # 5: Using petroleum- or silicone-based tire cleaners/shines won’t damage tires.”
Fact: Many popular tire cleaners/shines contain petroleum or silicone products, which will damage the rubber.
Tire manufacturers add a wax-based protectant that helps to protect the tire against ozone, which will cause the
tire to begin to crack and dry rot. This wax protectant is forced to the surface every time a tire is flexed as it rolls.
The silicone ingredient in many common tire shine products dissolves this wax protectant, thus increasing the
tires vulnerability to dry rot. Consumers are advised to read the label when shopping for a tire cleaner/shine, and
make sure there are no petroleum- or silicone-based ingredients.
