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

    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.

    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.

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

    -Are these Winter tires directional/
    non-directional?

    My take...?

    Yes....!

    Just wanted to mess with your mind--lol...

    Use the time you saved from doing the back side of tires for someone or some good for someone!

    Did anyone say hell no yet? Because I say hell no. I don’t see it so it can be brown if it wants to.
