i know. it sounds strange, too. but the tire guy said it's very common and he's changed/seen a lot of crack tires because of the same reason .

Ok I kinda looked into the tire care thing a little. and it seems that ones that CLEAN the tire along with dressing it can cause damage... Like this one.



Ones formulated with petroleum distillates are proven to damage tires. AND this is found right on NO Touch's own website.



They have one the purple bottle Wet N Protect... that one doesnt contain Petroleum distillates and this one doesnt clean... only protects and reples dust and water...



DOH!!!!!!! and guese what? I have like 6 more cans of the Cleaning and protecting one! and only 1 can of the Wet N Protect. I need to go get some more of the Wet N Protect one instead...

I guess I'll go burn off the Red Can on the MINI tires and save the purple one for the E60.

Ah whatever hahaha i'm going to use them reguardless LOL I've havent had a problem yet... I like my tires shinny... until I blow $1K and have to replace my tires I'll continue to use them. 2 years no cracks... sidewalls look good as new.

I've also used them on my last Camry tires for 5 years 2 sets of tires... no problems... no signs of cracking... so I'm not too concerned just yet.

I think it is the build up of some wet-tire type dressings that gives the appearance of cracking. When I have experienced this, I quit the wet-tire dressing. Have three containers on the shelf to give or throw away. I use Armor All applied with a sponge block applicator. It is not as shiny, but looks nice enough.
