Can I use sidewall protectants or cleaners on my tires?

No, you should never use protectants, cleaners or dressings on your tire sidewalls. These may degrade rubber and remove the inherent ozone cracking and weather checking resistance put into the rubber by the tire manufacturer. Use a mild soap solution to clean your sidewalls, white striping or lettering, and rinse off with plain water.
