Default Leather conditioner on tires

Does anyone else do this?

I've been using leather conditioner on tires for the last 5-6 years, and have not had any problems. The reason is, I want to have a natural black rubber look on my tires, not the shiny wet look. The conditioner dries in 10 minutes and does not sling any residue onto my paint. It feels very dry to the touch, and has a very subtle black, natural look. Not dry looking, not wet looking. I'm just wondering if anyone has done this as well. Also, if anyone can bring any points about using such a product on tires, if there are any negative effects I don't know about. I got a bottle of CG's leather conditioner as a gift several years ago, and the stuff doesn't smell very nice for interior, so I used it on my tires. Not that I ever need to put conditioner on any of the "leather" in my cars.

Any input?

Here what it looks like during application:




This is what it looks like after it dried.

Ive never heard of that, try out meguiars hyper dressing you can dilute it to your liking and it also gives the natural matte look or the shiny wet look.

You can also use a old wax applicator to dress the tires and wipe excess with microfiber to prevent help prevent sling,
