tire cracks

I've been using tire shine for ages and I see that my tires have cracks so my question is if the shine is damaging the rubber? the tires are replaced about 3 years ago, so i shouldn't see cracks

What's the material for your shine anyway? If solvent-based or there's petroleum then sorry t say you're really gonna see cracks. Go for water-based ALWAYS as a general rule.

Depends what you're using. The cheap, greasy stuff with petroleum distillates will dry out the rubber over time. I agree with @TriggerWarning here. If it's silicone-based, it could be your culprit right there.

Depends on what's the material. Don't buy cheap like @Jesse Pinkman here said. Why you need tire shine anyways? I mean how often do you apply it?
