New tires tend to have the mold wax release and some tire coatings can turn brown even if the tires are cleaned and prepped right. It is when the tires are being driven on that it starts to leech out of the tire. Tuf Shine tire coating is not a picky when it comes to this. Generally cleaning with their tire cleaner or something to that level and then applying a few coats is fine. So yes clean them first to get that lube off.

These are winter tires so they will get beat up so looks is probably not that important to you during the winter. If you prefer a tire dressing then go for that. You will just reapply it more often.

To Opie's question...

I personally prefer tire coatings because of durability. I don't have to reapply anything after the weekly wash. I have been enjoying a good 6-8 months of durability.

Plus i like the look. It's not blingy wet but shiny and new looking.

Holy smokes 6-8 months. I like the same tire look as you described. Which coating do you use?

Dumb question...so this doesnt dry out the rubber at all?

Silcone tire dressings do, so i only use water based

I am using Optimum Tire Coating.

I haven't found any drying out issues and the trick is to keep the sidewalls clean.

I like it on customer tires as it doesn't need to be reapplied saving time.

If you're unsure about a true tire coating, look at TWHS offerings. I used then on my new Duratracs with no issues. First prep the tire with the cleaner. Then apply the Graphene tire coating spray. I was amazed at the outcome! Tires look a natural deep black. NO SLING. And can be cleaned with soap & water. And lasts thru several washes/rainstorms etc.
