Hey I just remembered this trick and wanted to share it here. A lot of you probably already know this, but, Brake fluid makes the best tire dressing you can find. I learned this trick years ago from a trucker who had been doing this all his career. Some people are going to object, and say that it is not good for the rubber. But think about it, brake fluid has a rubber conditioning ingredient To protect rubber brake lines.
I have used several different types of tire dressing over the years, but nothing works as good as brake fluid. And it keeps on working much longer than the commercial bought stuff. I have used it on all kinds of rubber components under the hood of my car.. I have used it on my motorcycle... anything rubber. Just be careful about getting any on your painted surfaces. Other than that it is easy to use. Just dampen a rag and wipe the tire, then wipe off the excess, it works awesome! If you are skeptical Try it on an old junk tire You will be surprised.
