I care how the VEHICLE looks; the paint. I wash the wheels and keep the vehicle reasonably clean because I like it to look good. I won't put anything on the rubber of the tires because their function is more important than their form and putting greasy shiny garbage on them not only lacks appeal to me but if anything, may negatively impact their performance and lifespan. The paint is supposed to be shiny, that's why it comes that way, the tires? Not so much.
There are plenty of tire dressings available that leave a nice matte finish when applied. No shine, or greasy look, just looks like a new, clean tire. To me, it looks like the detailing job was done half a$$ if the tires are left dirty, or untreated...
