Shiny tires isn't a good look. They should have a nice matte sheen.

+1 Aerospace 303 works great on tires as a dressing.

+1 on the matte look. Shiny tires are for ricers.

i use a spray foam, put it on after washing the car, tires don't shine, but look nice and black, they don't grey over time, excess doesn't fly off when you need to drive it within 20mins. i wanna say it's armour all who makes it. i ran out the other day, and i really only know it by the design on the can.

i know some people use Ice wax on em, not shiney, but i'd think driving with any agression could be an issue

If you carefully coat the tread of the tyres as well, it sure seems to add a lot.

Well, I can do burnouts much easier and drifting is cake!
