It could be a good deal but without knowing how old those tires actually are, makes it questionable.

I would want to make sure of the manufacturing date first... those tires are 450 each new... 100 dollars each throws up a big flag. Can't afford to buy anything too cheap..

Sounds like a good deal, but careful checking of the age is always a good thing to do.

Also some disulfide tire cleaners and silicone dressings also destroy tires ..

The DOT strongly recommends replacing tires at 8 years, molded rubber has a shelf life. Improperly inflated tires will take away from that 8 year recommendation. Heat is the biggest killer of a tire only overshadowed by a heavy foot. Many States with safety inspections " can " refuse inspection renewal for tires older than 8 years.

I do not want to step on "Bill"s future reply, but for me, I never put anything on my tires. I like natural look, not glossy. If the tires get scruffy/funky looking, I just do some hard scrubbing with soap and water.

If you use or have to use something weekly there is something wrong.. if your tires get that brown look after a rain, you are not using the right product.. that brown stuff is the oils that your product has sucked out of your tires...
I buy four products,1 bottle each, two bottles are less than a pint and two are less than a quart. they last for two years, no disulfides, UV stable, optically clear.
