Do you like it 'Raw', or do you like to 'shine'?

[liveoak]

I've seen alot of pics on this site lately and there's no doubt that the Tacoma's look great after a fresh coat of wax, hell, they even look good covered in mud. I noticed that along with that fresh coat of wax some Taco owners are sporting "raw" tires (no shine). IMO, I think they look alot better on a truck than tires sporting a shine.

So, do you guys and gals like it 'raw', or do you like to 'shine' ?

I like mine with the matte look..I am not a big fan of the Super shiny tires.
I just clean my wheels and tires with wheel cleaner and it leaves them a nice clean lookin flat black look

what stuff..Where you talkin about my post.
I am just saying I clean my tires with wheel cleaner while I clean my wheels. I dont put anything on them just let them dry and it gives it a nice clean matte look

Raw. Ive tried tine shine products in the past, but the shine wears off in about 2 days, so I figured whats the point?
I could see it if maybe you were going out cruising on a Friday night, but Im too old to go cruising for chicks (most women my age are at home watching their kids), so for me thats a non-issue.

Any store that sells car care products should carry some kind of tire cleaning/shining chemicals.
You could even go to the local Wal-Mart if you wanted, they carry that stuff too.

Raw but clean. i use turtle wax formula 2k1 on my tire walls, it's doesn't shine it just makes it a nice deep black color. Cleans it very well too.

I put turtle wax tire shine on mine. But, like said before it only lasts a few days. But, when I wash my truck, that only lasts a few days. It seems like everytime I wash my truck, it rains. I only put the tire shine stuff on only when I wash my truck. I like them to shine. Looks nice. IMO.

I use Meguiar's Tire Gel. It is excellent. Lasts long and looks great.

I don't use shine during the winter, there is no point.

Summertime = SUPER SHINE!

I don't shine my tires, just clean them when I wash the truck.

I like the shine look on my camry and the dark flat black on my X-Runner.
