I use Black Magic Titanium Tire Gel. It works good for me and I do about 90% highway driving and it stays on pretty good !

I use one of two kinds.

Mother back top black tire dressing gives a normal new rubber finish

Amour all gell in the orange bottle gives a shiney finish Buff after so you limit spin off

It's all about what you like and what you want... most tire shines do roughly the same shine for me anyway.

The gels tended to sling a little bit for some of my friends in teh Mustang camp... I never had a problem, just found it harder than necessary to put on.

I use the Black Magic spray and the Meguiars Hot Shine spray on. I know, I can already here people saying "BUT THE SPRAY ON GETS ALL OVER YOUR RIMS AND PAINT!"

Then don't spray it on the rim, dummy. Spray it on the rag and then wipe it on the tire. Or turn the nozzle so it sprays on the tire correctly and be careful.

I like the gel and never had a problem with it slinging off. I use Meguiars Hot Shine Tire gel. I just bought some other stuff to try on the 03 and it works well too. I can't remember if it's Black Magic, but it's another gel.

I agree with Cowboy. I use the Meguiars hot shine tire spray and also use the Meguiars wheel cleaner for the rims. I spray the tires down after I wash the wheels w/o spraying it on the wheels and they look pretty sharp. It seems to last a lot longer than some of the other products I've used as well.
