Is there a no B.S. paste/spray/jizz that will help protect my tires from weathering.  I rotate them but the truck parks facing north.   Can't change that.

OK GC, I am not an expert here on the tire keeping it looking like new deal. But I will give ya my .02... OK, the real simple way which I have used for a long time is brake fluid. Not a lot, just a simple wipe down, and then after a little bit another wipe down again, that being you don't want it on your paint on the vehicle. OK so everyone can give me crap now, but let me splain. If ya think about it brake FLUID, not OIL is used in your brake system. The reason for that is the brake fluid does not deteriorate the rubber seals in your brake system, so think about it on tires ::)  OK so now I need to bail a little,  the woman is bitching about dinnner is ready..... I be back :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

The "rubber" parts inside of  most master cylinders, wheel cylinders and calipers are in fact Neoprene (synthetic rubber).  Allowing Dot-3 type brake fluid because it is not natural rubber.

Many British vehicles used natural rubber in there brake components... thus requiring Dot-4 (LMA) brake fluid.

But... for your tires,  I don't think it really makes any difference  ;D

been watching CL....found some stuff....mostly takeoffs w/ 50% life left for like $500-$600.....few hundy more, i can get them for new. so why bother?


I had to look for a while until I found a set, just took some patience on my end. Was damn near on slicks on the rears when I found them but couldnt drop what the tire places wanted.

Good luck!

I was around before they had armore all and all that stuff, with two older bros. We used to use brake fluid, gas whatever. They even had this stuff called "Tire Black" where you acualy painted the tires. Alot of guys used this shit to lose the white , This was before raised white letters too, if you wanted white letters, or red or whatever, you had to paint them. My Bro worked in a machine shop and got some silicone spray which I used on the bike tires.

I got just about the same price $946 for 4 BFG Rugged Trails which were OEM replacements from Big O.    40K warranty from mfg.

I ended up with Dunlops for about $30 a tire less with a 60K warranty.    Still friggin' expensive.   :mad:
