i was putting on some armorall on my tires today and they look like they are microscopically rotting! they are not solid and sleek looking tight rubbers no more! anyone have this problem?
i don't think i'll be using armorall on the tires no more.

 

Armor-all does that to your tires, I dont see the use in this product anymore, it just kills the item you use it on.

 

Any good tire shop should tell you not to use regular Armor All on your tires.

what exactly do you mean by rotting?...like where does it look like it's coming apart?...i'm worried now because i used armor all on my tires last weekend, and i had done it a few times before that too

 

is the black magic tire stuff good enough? it hasnt harmed mine yet, never used armorall on these tires

 

My original RS-A have 59k and are still not totally worn out as shown by the wear indicators. But they do have cracks on them, especially on the insides. I would say age does that since I never put anything on the insides. I don't like anything on the tires anyway because the greasy look attracts attention. When shops notice those cracks they tell you to replace them immediately. My dealer went as far as telling me the car was unsafe to drive.

 

I use the Armor All in the gold and black can. It's called Detailer Choice or somthing like that.

 

Turtle Wax makes a tire shine produce called Tire Wax. It's a very thick almost paste like liquid, comes with a special foam applicator. The stuff works excellent. Doesn't spray off your tires and shines for 2 - 3 weeks, even after a few car washes.

 

you sure that will not destroy the tires after long term use cause it will make it soft!

 

I use the Armor All Tire Foam and have never had any problems with my tires looking like they are "rotting".

 

ok good...that makes me feel a little bit better because that is what i use...the armor all spray on foam that you let sit for a few minutes and it dries up and shines...i like the way it makes it look and i checked my tires today and i didn't find any problems with them, so i guess it's all good for me

 

Well I use Black Magic on my 2k2 as well as my 97 and havent had any problems on the 97 tires yet.

 

Long time no see!
