Nothing makes a car look sweeter than a shiny set of tires. But don’t put your investment at risk by using just any cleaner. Make sure to only use non-petroleum based products to clean the tires. A number of wheel cleaners may contain harsh acids, alkalis and/or detergents that can damage wheels and paint. However, there are products out there that are safe for all brands of tires as well as environmentally responsible. You can find them at an auto parts dealer near you.

Good point Don. I don't like the Ghetto Cruiser look of shiny tires so mine get washed with car wash suds after all else has been washed and nothing else. Maybe that's partly why mine seem to last longer. A co-worker used to use dish soap on the paint and bleach on the white letter tires and swore up and down that it didn't contribute to his paint going to * and the tires drying out.
