Does anyone have a favorite tire brush?

I'm looking for a new tire brush. I have been using the Meguiar's Versa Angle Tire brush for years on my truck tires, but I have grown tired of using it.

It's a really good brush and it cleans tires well, but the bristles are just a little too stiff for my liking when I am cleaning my truck tires. On the other hand low profile car tires are a breeze with it.

I was looking at the Mothers or Carrand Deluxe Contour tire brush, but I was also curious to see what everyone else is using for cleaning truck tires that does a good job without wearing your arm out.
 
This is what I use. I fill it with car wash shampoo and zep citrus. Works great for me.

I like the mothers, its lasted me a long time on several vehicles
 
I've used the same walmart tire brush for many moons now. It was one of the few things I bought that day while pondering what I needed for my Skybaby just after I bought her. After about 15 minutes of picking up and putting down NXT I left it down and came home to start searching on the Internet since I realized I knew nothing! A few years later here we are but my tire brush was never replaced so I have nothing to compare it against. Will be watching this thread to see if I need something different when I replace it.
 
I really like the Mothers one. A trip to a local janitor supply house may also turn up something and you have the chance to physically touch it and see if it fits your liking.
 
for tires, i bought this cheap stiff bristle brush at the dollar store. It has an arc shape to it and it works well. However after 5 months the bristles seem softer, maybe its me.

I actually never used to clean my tires before joining AG. They just got hosed off as good as I could get and then some tire shine might have gone on afterwards.

I bought the Mothers 3 piece brush set and couldn't be happier. The bristles on the tire brush are stiff enough to scrub the tires, but gentle enough that they don't cut into the rubber. The curviture is nice as it lets you scrub two different ways. One way forms to the sidewall of the tire and the other curves with the radius of the wheel. And the Mothers Red color looks cool!

Well, I ended up purchasing the Mothers contoured tire brush.

It's not bad. I like it better than the Meguiars brush that I have used for years, but I still don't think it is what I was looking for. It is not hard to use or anything. I think mostly I just don't like scrubbing truck tires all the time. :D

I dunno about tires, but I like the looks of that thing for wheels. I have a more squared-off one that I got at Wal-Mart (or Pep Boys) that I love, but the tapered shape of this one might be even better.
 
I primarily use this one for tires:

HDX 8.5in scrub brush


I also have the 20" Handled version for wheelwells or big truck tires. Can't beat the price, just stiff enough.


For wheels, I have a lug brush, a speedmaster/concourse type for the barrels and calipers, and a softer flag-tip version of the brush above.
 
I have tried all sorts of brushes on tires over the years. Last year Scott from Dallas Paint Correction talked about the Tuff Shine brush in one of his videos and gave it high praise so I ordered one. I fell in love with it the first time I used it. It's the perfect size and shape for tires. If can get a tire clean in about 30 seconds with this brush and it's very effortless to use as well. Combine it with a good tire cleaner solution and you rarelly have to scrub a second time.

And it works wonders on rubber removable mats as well.
