Tires......proper care......

My PSD has new shoes....
I've heard and read that Armor All will crack the side walls and dash if used over and over...
Is there a good product to keep our tires looking good and avoid cracking ... maybe a silicone spray or something ??
I'd be curious as to what others use and how well it works..
Thanks...
Geolander by Yokohama is what I got...from all I read they are better than most...

I actually dont use anything but elbow grease on my tires. I just make sure they are clean and wash them regularly.

I usually don't put anything on them. I have looked for some tire specific UV protection but haven't found anything that I liked.

What ive found to use to clean the tires is just regular "Spray Nine". Its just your normal multi-purpose cleaner disinfectant. It seems to clean just as well as "bleche White" if not better. Plus it doesnt say its hard on wheels, like "bleche white" does, IIRC its not good for alum wheels. All i do is wet the tires, spray it on, and let it set a minute or two, and use a regular wash mit to clean them up. It really whitens the lettes and makes the tires back to their normal black....
