nos tyres didnt look like this nick
they all had the release powder on

i think that they use tyre shine similar to car tyres to get them looking this way ( they do look good )

personally i would do this on used tyres that were grubby etc but i prefer the look of the nos ones if given the choice

I've used tyre slick from Asda, sprayed into the lid then painted onto the tread directly will reduce the risk of it getting on your brake area.

i'm sure there's a tyre shine with added lubricant to keep the rubber supple :daumenhoch:
