There in lies the problem tires are made from Butadiene,Styrene,Neolite,Polyisobutylene,Butyl rubber and other synthetics no such thing as rubber in tires to day the all mighty Michelin are made from Butyl rubber a synthetic I saw that at the plant in Ardmore OK

I did hours of research on tire coatings a few years back and 303 or its equivalent was the only thing I found to be good for tires.

Armorall and its mates are among the worst things to use unless you're making it look to sell! They are made for vinyl.

We southwesterners have the sun, the heat and the dryness to protect from. Ive found the tire covers maddening, coming back a month later and seeing them under the next rv. The sun beats down on her, whether shes moving, overnighting, or sitting for 2 months. I think another layer of protection to allow some additional protection from the sun is a good idea, lvmci...

I've used 303 for many years for my car's door and window seals.   When the door seals begin to creak and squeak, especially when driving over angled speed bumps, I know it's time to reapply it.   I've never used it on tires  -  my bus tires are Michelins, so maybe even 303 won't help them much!

Any one still use the RuGlyde from the 50's-70's it was popular when they made rubber tires ::) it was great stuff for rubber squeaks and making the rubber floor mats look new also
