I just got new tires back in January. My old tires were Bridgestone Potenzas and my tire shine made them look glossy and I really liked the way they looked.
However, my new Toyo T1Rs don't look nearly as glossy as the Bridgestones and it doesn't seem to last nearly as long.
Could it just be a difference in the rubber between the two tires, where one won't absorb it like the other would? I've attached pics.
