I don’t know about you, but to me, there are a few things in life better than black, glossy, freshly shined up tire on a sparkly automobile. It’s always been my favorite part of cleaning my car since i was 16. Wondering where the rest of the Land Cruiser owners stand on this issue of tire dressing.

We live on a dirt road, so tire gloss treatments only result in dirt adhering better to the rubber. Not a great look.
 
I just cleaned all the tire shine off mine (wasn't easy) and am surprised I like it better. I've always used tire shine on my previous cars.
 
Shiny tires is the easiest way to spot a pavement princess vehicle. Anyone who goes offroad with any regularity would never put a dust magnet on their car, especially not the wheels.

Yep, not ashamed of it. I go off road once or twice a month (if i'm lucky!) and wash my car weekly.

Also when i do go off-pavement, it is usually grass or sand so minimal scrubbing needed.
