    You can get whatever tires you want there. If you buy a set a linglongs for 50 bucks a tire then what do you expect? You can get cooper, Yokohama falken whatever you just have to order them. Just got a set of km3s for another vehicle for about 150 less then anywhere else you just have to watch the sales. Some of you guys really are not the sharpest crayons in the box.

    Fawken Falkens are CCP. Probably one of the most popular tires out there right now. I have them on my trailer and no complaints.

    I replaced a pair of chinese made tires on my trailer after buying it...didn't trust them as they had no markings on them except manufactured in china. I ended up ordering another set of tires through walmart. To my surprised they were chinese to, but at least they had the dot, and size markings on them. Found out later they were a decent rated trailer tire.

    If I am putting gasoline on my tires I'm lighting them on fire as well.

    Personally I like tire dressing but I like the matte finish type. It especially goes well with chrome.
    . :crapstorm:

    I don’t worry about the long term effect of various dressings since tires are a consumable part that gets replaced before the dressing would ruin it.

    My truck still has the stock tires, Hankook, that came on the truck...on it. The 1st 2 years the 2 tires on the passenger side bloomed something awful. I used Meguiar's tire & wheel cleaner and a scrub brush twice a month on them. No problems with those tires now. Just takes time for the bloom to run it's course.

    Spray on, wait a couple minutes, spray off. Done. Tires dry to a matte black finish, just like God planned them to. No tire dressing needed. I come here across oceans of time, from a time before Armor All, Meguiars, and Chemical Guys. All we had back then was this shit, dish soap and a red shop rag. And Turtle Wax. And you know whut? We liked it that way! I've tried almost every tire cleaning product that came down the pipe since the early 70's, and I always came back to Bleche-Wite. Like many of you here, I now worship at the altar of Simple Green too, but this stuff is better on tires. They were using this stuff in gas stations wash stalls going back into the 30's. (You're too young to remember full-service gas stations that washed cars, aren't you?) Why did they use this, universally? It works, and it saved time. Buy some, go old-school, and move on to the next insignificant crisis in your life. I put that shit on everything...frame, wheel wells, sliders, etc.

    My neighbor swears by brake fluid to shine his tires. Told him he's asking for problems...brake fluid eats rubber.
