Do you coat (or dress) both sides of your tires?

[acuRAS82]

The question is more for tire coatings due to having to scrub and clean. And due to the longer durability. But wouldn’t mind hearing if anyone uses dressings on the hidden sides of the tires, given there may not be a lot of coating users.


I’m about to get scrubbing on my winter tires (brand new last November and I didn’t apply anything knowing I wanted a strong coating bond this year). I have a small garage and it would be a pain to have to clean both sides due to my setup. Is it worth it? I’m guessing the tires will last 4 winters (so 4 years old) in their lifetime. Maybe even 5.

Oh Hell No. Lol

Lol, thank you sooo much. I’m praying I get 9 out of 9 similar answers. I’m almost sad I asked, because if someone says yes, I don’t even know what to do with that advice.

I get some collateral Fluid Film on the insides of them when I'm winterizing the under carriage. "That's all you're getting, inside sidewalls!!!" Lol

I briefly considered when I was prepping mine a couple weekends ago. And then I thought "Dude. Get a grip" and wiped the thought from my mind.

-Tire design really takes on a whole
new perspective for Wintry conditions.

-Are these Winter tires directional/
non-directional?

They are directional. They are also by far the snazziest winter tires I’ve ever owned. I’m actually prideful of them because I bought the wheel/tire set brand new last year. So the fact that only my hands have been on them since they came to my possession makes them more special.

With that being said, this car is my baby but it’s a DD, and I’ve decided I’m not doing the hidden sides. If I had a better garage with more space I would consider it (maybe), but as they are right now, I’m coating two in the garage and two in the laundry room and spending the extra time playing Twister in my laundry room was deemed not worth it.





On coat #3, drying.



Three coats finished (made it thick/glossy on purpose to hold up in salt/snow).

You lose one punch on your geek card for not coating the insides with wheels already off car!

Just kidding. Give them a clean and move on. What did you use to coat
