    Armor all is bad for everything... Don't use it. I don't do any tire treatment anymore... rubber cracks real fast with armor all.

    I know a guy that owns a detail shop... he uses Brake fluid for everything from tires and plastic trim to dash boards and interior.

    Sounds like an ideal candidate to torch his car. Fiery BMW crash...

    I uses 303 Aerospace protectant on my tires, works well. In the winter, everything looks like ass anyways, so it's somewhat of a losing battle to dress winter tires.

    Huh? Not sure what you mean... Armorall on the side wall doesn't effect anything. I don't think anyone use it on the tread...
