Tire Tint

Was at Pepboys today and noticed that they had tire spray that made the tires different colors such as yellow, red, green etc. Has anyone tried these and what do you think in general of them?

it's pretty ghey to color the sidewall anything but black anyways Just get some Armor all stuff and wax it on a clear tire sidewall, looks 10 times better.

I'd say go with Meguiars, I used Armor all and the stuff spun off onto the body and the wheels within a week.

Tire Gel works the best also stays on better because of the thick liquid unlike those crappy spray ones.

tire gel is not good because dirt and debris sticks to it like glue and with a sidewall like my Kuhmos it is real hard to get off...I use a very light coat of Armoral for a small shine when I do shows only
I don't put any kind of gel or coat on my tires on a regular basis....the gel looks real good and is ok if your tire's sidewall is smooth but I live in the country on dirt roads and dust and it sticks to the gel like glue and makes the gel hard to get off then again it depends on how much of a layer you put on....

I don't "spray" on anything I put it on a rag and wipe it on....
