Tire shine? ok I keep hearing from a few of my friends that using that tire shine stuff cracks your tires.... Well, Ive used various brands on all my cars for years now... are my friend's full of crap or am I just really lucky? Has anyone else heard of this?

I've never had the tires crack from using it, I've never had tires crack unless they sit there for long periods of time. I'm talking over a year though. But those tires never had tire shine on them...

yah thats what i thought... my one friend put tire shine on and soon after that, the tires got cracks around the sidewall... i told him he was full of ****.. i think i decided that it was because his tires were old, dry, had 50k miles on them and had been sitting in the salty, sunny florida weather.... 
but he wouldn't give it up so I figured i'd ask just to be on the safe side...

Cracking of the tires is caused by "stale air" bring in the tire for to long. As you drive your car air actually is able to transfer across the bead and keep the air "fresh." To keep tires from developing cracks, dont let the air get "stale"
