I also concur with the rotation of the tire pulling any liquid from the sidewall to the tire.
I just scrub them real well with the soap and water when I was the bike.

Centrifugal force, not unlike "spin art" at a carnival will pull any liquid from the sidewall to the edge of the tread. When you park, gravity will pull the liquid from the edge onto the tread.
Personally, I don't have strong opinions one way or the other about anything you do, as long as it doesn't impact me. Bottom line, if you want to use tire shine, etc. that's your business. I assumed you were asking a question because you wanted the benefit of other's knowledge and experience. Maybe you should use the stuff and then come back after a few months and let us all know how well or poorly it worked.

I didn't mean it like that, I truly value the information I get on the forum. I know it's my choice but, asking allows me to get alot of information and make my own semi-educated decision.
I was just trying to say it seemed to get people kinda ralied up a little!
I'll let ya know if I decide to try it but, for now my decesion is to keep riding on just the rubber.
Thanks everyone,
Jason
