Shiny tires?

Shiny tires?
So I've read the past posts with reguards to armor alling tires. And I get the slippery factor. Not good. But what about just the ribbed area next to the rim? Seems like it would be o.k. If I'm leaning my bike that hard in the corners It would be too late anyway. It just looks awfully nice when it's done.

I was told that Armor All, or any other tire shine products are not good for HD tires. If you have white walls, you can use Bleche White for it.

H-D offers a Tire Protectant . Never used it but I would think it would be safer than Armor-All.
A little history lesson: In the old days (pre-Armor-All) the lowriders used to use good ol' Coca Cola to make the tires shine. Kind of old school but supposedly did the trick.

RE: Shiny tires?
ive used Stoner tire shine with no problems ever (on my work Road King)... im just careful to put a light shine on the sidewalls- and believe me, ive ridden ALOT of miles like that.
ive used the same product on my Warrior (ME880's) with no problems as well.
however, im not sure if ill dress the white walls on my RKC... maybe ill scrub them tonight and see how it looks.

RE: Shiny tires?
I took my 07 FLSTC in today for the first service, They jumped me about using armor all on my tires. They said it almost fell off the rack. I didnt bother to tell them that it wasnt armor all but another product called Blue Dressing . It dries and doesnt leave the tire wet like armor all does. I think they were yanking my chain about fallen off the rack. I only put it on the sides of the tires not on the part where the rubber meets the road. I have never had any problems with this dressing because it dries and makes the tires black like new.
