Very interesting. I love my white lettering, but I've noticed my fronts are starting to fade, but the rears look fine.

 

If you get vogues, they make them!!

 

Front tires generally see more grime because you're turning them and there's more brake dust up front. Rear wheels stay straight and don't face the elements as much (unless you're drifting) and the brake bias is less in the rear, i.e. less brake dust. Another good reason to rotate tires!

 

SOS pads work great!

Also, there are about 10 or 15 different tire and wheel cleaners out there that seriously break up the brake dust and any dirt on the tires. Just spray on and rinse off.

 

Rubber Buffer works really good, i worked at a tire shop for about four years and thats what we used all the time, works great and doestnt make the black rubber look bad, anytime i want to make my blaze look good i use that on the whole tire. I think it looks better then tire shine, there is to much gloss with that stuff...
