What is the product. Can you be more specific or is the brand name "Sun Block for tires". If so, my apologies.

I should have checked with the Herklopedia before I asked a question. Dumb me!

<sigh>

Well, hopefully someone has used it (or a tire company rep for that matter) and can report.

I like my Marathons too much to ruin them with something with no track record.

I have not tried that product, but I've used aerospace 303 protectant on RV tires and just about everything else. Unlike other tire products, A303 doesn't attract dust.

Any petroleum based product should not be used on RV tires. It accelerates the tire breakdown.

I just replaced my 2006 tires after getting the cracking checked by a tire guy. After paying that bill I ordered wheel covers. A protectant would be interesting. Can't wait to hear somebody knowledgeable versus just opinionated to give us the low down.

I need Sun Block

Well talking about sun block we opened the pool today. Water temp was at 75 degrees so we had a little pool party. Oh the pool is naturally heated. This is earth week isn't it.
Siorry no pictures. Wife, daughter and Grand daughter wouldn't like me doing it.

I used it the first year we had our coach and our tires still look new. I've looked at them up close and don't see any signs of drying out, cracking etc. We also use the tire covers when it's stored over winter or if we're not going anywhere a couple weeks.
