    I mean......the coating would come off with scrubbing. But if you wash them regularly....why not. I imagine youd have to fully clean the tires and apply a few coats ensuring you get no overspray on paint. I personally feel itd be a waste. But experiment and see. Im interested.

    PlastiDip gloss does not stay glossy forever and is a pain in the butt to remove from tires if you leave it on them for too long.

    I'd be subscribed and tuned in to this experiment.

    Who knows you might end the future sales of all future tire dressings

    But I think it might not hold up so well and look to plasticky, even though it is rubber

    Well only one way to find out. Try it out and let us know how it works out.

    well i made the mistake of useing turtlewax tire coating last year and it looks terrible now all cracked and yellowed so first i have to get that cleaned off which i have already tried my best tire cleaner and a wire brush. but i figure something out then i will do it on the tires and take pics as a time lapse.

    Cracking may be an issue, as above.

    plasti dip does not crack or split i have used it before on other items that where flexed lie extensions cords and it never cracked it flexed with the cord. but i dont know it has to warm up a bit here first and the snow has to be gone, but as soon as that happens i will try it and take before, after, and during pics.

    I honestly don't see it lasting for more than a week, but I hope it works for you.
