Semi Permanent Tire Coating Face Off

I kind of assumed OPT would be more durable from the get go, so that’s why I applied to the fronts. Run 30 psi.

30 is pretty low, at least on my tires it is.. Or should I say most people would say it is, but my car recommends 30psi and that’s what I have them at and the car runs so smooth compared to the time I made the mistake and overinflated them @40psi. [ran like absolute crap @40psi. Bumpy as heck]

Reason I thought they might be overinflated is because I notice your left front tire has an indentation that usually happens when tires run overinflated. Before recently I used to notoriously overinflate my tires and they would sometimes develop those same dents in them..

According to ####, this car weighs just under 2,300lbs so 30 seems great to me.
I also just went and looked at that tire and the side wall is fine. Must be some sort of glare. Appreciate the heads up though.

WOW, you are a pioneer.
Minwax for wood eh? I have used gallons of this stuff.
I know it is the bomb on wood.

Get a picture for me of the Polycrylic wheel for me.

I have photos when I originally started (3/17), and will take photos soon, for a 1 month test. With that said, I do not want to publish here, since I believe it will be breaking forum rules.

PM where you put them, please, thank you.
This is interesting.

I actually wonder about the tire thing everytime I crack the gallon open and see the blueish white.
 
I wonder if mixing and matching different brands of tire cleaners and coatings will make a difference with the longevity. Yvan from Optimum recommends using the products from the same manufacturers for they are engineered to work together. I used the Tuf Shine system on the Buick in December and the tires are still dark and rich with a slight sheen.
 
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this/document/photo/post here!

FYI I know the type of indentation you are talking about and That’s just a normal part of the tire construction process.
