Tire brush is a must. Since your using one I would get a dedicated tire and wheel cleaner. I use Eagle1 but, not all the time. If you don’t get them clean your tire dressing is not going to absorb that well and won’t last long. You will be amazed at how much black residue the Eagle1 will remove.
I saw detailing video on tires and wheels by Mike Phillips of AutoGeek. He says tires are manufactured to “chalk” rubber to help with the rubber from drying out.
Try cleaning with Eagle1 agitate with your tire brush and they should clean up good. Personally I am not a fan of wet look tire and use Black Fire tire gel. It gives a natural sheen with deepest black I have ever achieved. Last for 2 to 4 weeks and doesn’t sling off and if you desire more sheen apply another application. When I use Eagle1 I always have to apply 2 coats since, it cleans the tires so well.

All you need to do is take a soft bristle brush meant for tires and wheels like the green one sold by Chemical Guys and some diluted Super Clean. Spray around the tire and let it sit for no more than 30 seconds. Then start scrubbing away keeping the brush wet. Rinse and repeat as needed. It takes it away like butter and I have been doing this at least once a month to put on VRP which works wonders for me.
Basically dirt just sticks onto the rubber and stays on no matter how you wash it with just soap and water.

that's just sort of salty road i-never-dress-my-tire stuff. just use a high quality tire dressing such as this
it's a bit pricey but i've had mine for three years now and barely used 1/3rd of it. so the value is outstanding
vs buying a $9 can at the auto parts store every month.
