I agree that Westleys Bleech White is a great tire cleaner... But if you have aluminum finish wheels it will F them up.

No way, a friend of mine did his and laid it down into a turn. Remember the side of the tread is very important lol don't want it slicked up!

I use tire gel just on the sidewall and have had zero issues. Like most things, a little common sense goes a long way.

Yeah I use it, about once a month as they get beat up on a 400 plus mile a week commute. I use Armorall, on the sidewalls with a rag, never on the tread.

Had never put anything on tires, put tire shine on my and my wife's bike, within about a month, had to replace all the tires because the sidewalls developed cracks, nothing else had changed. Indy who supplies my tires said that I did the worst thing I could have to the tires. I have never had to replce tires because of sidewall issues, only worn tread in the centers. I will never use that stuff on my bikes again, but just MHO, your MMV...

Any dressing that has "petroleum distillates" listed on the label is bad for any rubber and will cause more rapid deterioration. That is a common ingredient on the shiniest dressings. The milky dressings with silicones are safer for the rubber, again use with caution and common sense, always at your own risk.
