Thanks!
What is everyone using now a days for the tires? In the past I have used black magic, but I suspect that stuff wasn't too good for the tires. Seems like my sidewalls begin to crack over time when I use that stuff.

I've always used Eagle One Tire Shine. I use a foam applicator (like the ones that come with a can of car wax) and spray some tire shine on it. Then just wipe it onto the tire. Doing it that way with a stock size tire kinda sucks and makes your hand tired, but it's nice when you upgrade your rims and tires to low profile ones.

Bruce, I highly recommend the Griot's Garage Long Lasting Tire Shine. You can get it at Advance Auto or online.

I used that thing for tires too..and lot's of different stuff but stopped using anything for tires.
Makes my rims black looks like dirt.Have to keep clean em

When you buy something for tire, make sure it's silicone free.
Silicone is the stuff that makes tires crack.

do you have the diffusers in your tails tinted or does it just look that way because of lighting?
