Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I use a Rubber Seal Lubricant on my rig to keep the slide out seals plyable. Since it is a non-petroleum product, I was thinking that it might be something that I could add to the surface of my tires to protect them.
Anyone have any experience with this idea?

There are many So called tire protectants on the market. My tire dealer tells me for the most part they are petrolium based and only make them look good but actually do not protect. Told that mild soap and water with a good rinse after words works well.

I apparently did not read your post very well as I see you said it was non petroleum based,I would ask someone in a tire store although keeping dirt and road grime off of them and blocking uv rays goes a long way.

Some manufacturers will say never lube the slideout seals. Rather, use some talc powder on a microfiber cloth and rub that into those seals. Also works well for roof vent seals.
Lots of religion and controversy regarding tire protectants. Personally I just opt for the soap and water approach.
It is my understanding that tires, as they roll down the highway and heat up and cool down, automatically release chemicals to keep the tires fresh. I'm sure there's a more scientific way to explain what's happening.
The articles I've read indicate this is why there's no need to cover tires on an RV that is used often versus one that is stored more than used. Keeping in mind proper inflation is number one way to keep tires in good shape.
