    What do you think folks? Tire shine or no tire shine? My girl is trying to convince me to use tire shine but I'm not convinced I like the look

    At the risk of being completely crass... It's your truck and her pussy. Which are you the most interested in?

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Highway tires? Tire shine definitely looks good.

    AT/MT tires? No tire shine. Let the dirt and mud add that bling factor.

    Don't like the shine. If anything 303 protectant gives it a matt look but doesn't last long. The most important thing is keeping the girl happy.

    I use the turtle wax jet black tire coating. It takes awhile to apply but lasts for months. It isn't too glossy, but can be shiny up with a couple of extra coats. Just don't get it on the concrete driveway, it WILL stain.
