I got turned onto Dr. Beasley's products because my dually is painted flat black, and these guys are the market leaders in flat/matte paint care. I now use their Tire Conditioner on all of my vehicles. If there as ANY paint finish that you don't want to sling tire dressing on, it's flat/matte paint. It's a great product, as is all of their stuff.
I use Ibiz products, he sells his products at the larger Corvette events like Carlisle, etc. The tire dressing works great, doesn't sling off which in my case is good because my sidewalls stick out right at the edge of my fenders. It has a nice semigloss finish and will last several weeks.
The problem is the tire... If there is any silicone on it, from previous dressings, any good product will work. the trick is not to use a silicone based product, because that makes the tires a silicone junkie...
making sure the dressing sticks to the tire is process. these products are designed to stick to a rubber product, not a product that has silicone ( non stick ) tire dressing.
Clean the tire with dishwashing liquid.. then apply what ever you want as long as it isn't a silicone based product. I use Zaino, and NO touch.

I agree with ET - stay away from silicone-based products. I use the Zaino tire dressing with no sling problem at all. Some people use too much tire dressing and it has nowhere to go but on the paint. The trick is to use a moderate amount, work it on thoroughly, wipe the excess off and then let it "dry" for several hours, if possible.
Zaino leaves a soft, semi-gloss sheen that I like it makes the tire look new and very black. I don't like the "wet" look.
The amount of info one can get on this forum is amazing. I almost didn't start this thread because I thought maybe nobody would be interested enough to respond. Was I wrong, thanks all.
Another vote for Aerospace 303. Don't want an overly shiny tire, just a nice clean look. I spray the applicator and wipe on instead of spraying the tire.

When washing the car - thoroughly clean the tires with something like Adam's All Purpose cleaner. The brown stuff on the tire is rubber oxidation and often the remnants of previous tire shine products.
Once the tires are clean and dry - you can apply Adam's Super VRT. If you want a higher gloss - multiple applications will raise the level of the shine.
Adam's also offers Tire Shine which yields a glossy finish, again - multiple applications will give higher gloss.

n't know what your personal taste is but I like a deep black finish on my tires without that sticky wet look. I use Surf City's Beyond Black which I apply with a small sponge pad.

Your car's tires look good, but a little more shine or pop is my favorite look.
I tried back to black before and remember we're talking a white car. It did show on the fenders. Or I didn't apply it correctly but I followed directions.
I apply the Back to Black on a cloth and rub it in and buff off as I go around the tire..no sling that way
