Last note before I STFU... I dislike the looks of tires trying to be flashy. it'd never keep me from buying a tire, I just think it looks tacky.
Actually, the RS2 is superior to the Fuzion, in all the tests and reviews it beat it hands down, so I got an awesome tire for good money. The Toyo actually looks like the Fuzion in the sense that it's simple, but then again I don't mess with Toyos since they are overpriced and the sidewalls are soft, at least on the T1R. I like flashy tires, just like a nicely waxed and detailed car, they complement your wheels and of course your car, if the sidewalls weren't pretty then why put tire shine on them??

I don't use tire shine... it slings on the paint, and I've not found a truly "sling-free" shine... and I keep my cars detailed nicely...

Tire shire? I must be old, I like my tires flat finish. Glossy tires always reminds me of a glazed donut, and we all know how well they handle right?

If it slings, you're not applying it properly, use the spray, it last for days and requires no wiping, just lift overspray on wheels off with a paper towel.

I use the spray (on customer's cars who request it). how is it not applied properly? don't you just spray it on the tire? if I use ANYTHING on my tires, it's either 303 Aerospace, or Prima Nero. Nice flat black. nothing over the top, no ridiculous amounts of shine, no slinging (because you wipe it on) and it looks damn good... and for what it's worth, won't get nicked by the concours judges...

I actually curve a piece of cardboard and put it between the tire and the fender so that it sprays where it's meant to, and whatever falls on the wheel, I wipe off with a towell. Very nice looking S!
