Ugly brown Michelin tires 🤬

In 41 years of car ownership I've never spent a dollar or a minute on tire sidewall appearance.
I'll clean the rims about once a year; and that's it.

There's a product used by airlines (can't remember the company) that goes on airplane tires to protect them from UV light and prevent rubber cracking. When applied it looked like permanent tire shine, it is dry to the touch, and is supposed to last years. Maybe someone in the airline industry knows what this is because dry permanent tire shine would be awesome if we can get our hands on it.

Aero 303??

i leave the brown. michelins start out black ish, turn brown after a while, and then they turn grey and crack. once they turn grey they also sometimes stop wearing because the rubbers so hard

If you like 303, you’ll lose your mind over this:

“Aero cosmetics rubber care”

sold on Amazon. It’s like 303 that has 3x the ability to handle rain.

surprisingly good. Not oily. Easy to use.

might be worth a shot. It’s pretty unique.

My Michi AS4 on the G37 are brown. I spent too long trying to clean them up.

Do not use solvent based tire dressings on tires, you will get some browning at times.
Try to use water based dressings, even though they do not have great longevity.
Some Michelin tires are hard to get the deep black gloss.
Maybe try {Car Pro Perl}, a thick water based , tire protectant. Use it straight, undiluted a few times.

My fairly new Cooper Discoverer SRXes also turn brown often but some tire dressing fixes it right up
