To shine tires or Not to shine tires

I use Poorboy's World Bold 'n Bright. It leaves a nice black finish that isn't greasy or too shiny.
The things you've heard about dressings deteriorating the tire are referring to silicone dressings. Water-based dressings won't harm your tires, and as others have stated, many contain chemicals that actually help keep your rubber healthy.
Here's a great article if you want to know more:

I've heard good things about the Zaino tire dressing, but haven't tried it yet. I've also heard that 303 works well so I'm going to give it a shot. It works on everything else so I don't see why it wouldn't do the same on tires.
I hate the shiny 'wet look' so I would only use something that has a satin finish with UV protectant and doesn't sling.

btw OP as far as tires deteriorating if tire shine applied............I have two shined up spare tires sitting in my garage for quite some time now, and they have not turned in to rubber dust or anything.........they still there and no cracks on them.
I think tire shine actually keeps them from drying out and cracking.

^ That just means your friend never cleans his tires and just keeps applying the tire shine over all the dirt lol. I think applying it everyday is a little overkill.... I apply my tire shine everytime i wash my car (once a week), and always clean the tires before applying it. Tire shine on top of dirty, grimey tires looks crappy IMO.
