I suggest aerospace 303 protectant... It is the only dressing that has a uv protection in it that really works. It isn''t yield the most shine but it protects the tires the best of anything out there. Do some research at:
properautocare.com
good luck.

The best look for your tires is clean and NOT shiny. Just get a good tire cleaner and keep them looking that dull but clean black. To dress your tires is trying TOO hard to get noticed. Your $5000 or so rims should be what is getting looks, not the jerry curl shiny stuff.

I've been using that blue bottle...Vinylex and I'm happy with it. It doesn't pick up dust and dirt so even though I've driven onto a dirt shoulder the dirt doesn't stick. This is a semi-gloss look. The vinyl/plastic dressing from 1Z is nice and it is flat.

this post is ignorant. only fools are looking for attention to begin with when in their vehicle. I cant afford nor would I purchase if I could 5000 dollar rims. thats so absurd to me. I happen to like the look of a gloss black tire because it makes the car look better. perhaps this is why every dealer I have visited or dealt with has a showroom full of cars with 'dressed' tires. do some dressing variants harm the tires? yes they do. but not as much as idiots running over potholes on dubs because they are on the phone talking and leaning like they are cool and not paying attention.

....except for the fools trying to look good part..lol.... Be honest ,... everyman man likes to look good in a clean ride..

There is nothing wrong with a lil' shine to your tires. If anything it helps accentuate the look of the car and rims. I have seen nice rims look rather dull with dull tires. Even dealers shine tires with stock rims... for what purpose?? to help the car SELL..

Keep sprayin brothas
