Can anyone recommend a good black tyre paint / spray?

I have tried many in the past but often they are either very dull or fade in a couple of days, the 'new car' black has worn off now and i need to smarten the tyres up!

cheers!  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

give them a clean with silicone rubber lubricant, nice finish and not shiny/naff looking.

This stuff is great and soo easy to use, literally just spray round the tyre. Lots of other good stuff here to and all autoexpress winners.

You'll need to scrub the tyre clean first, tyre finishes work best on rubber without a layer of dirt or a bit it of grime it dies quickly back to a untreated look Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Sorry Nick but could you re-phrase that. It doesn't make any sense to me.  We Don't Care About Pot Holes !!

Its the fumes off the hairspray.  Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well.
