I used this stuff, by the way… is this solvent based or water based? I don’t know.

Unless it says otherwise on the description, I'd assume it's not water based.
Gyeon's Tire Express I mentioned (
https://gyeonusa.com/products/q-m-ti...44405722972359) is water based and will not harm or discolor tires. It gives you a deeper contrast with a nice matte finish. Much better than dry rubber, IMO.
As noted, the tires must be cleaned and stripped of whatever's on them before applying any kind of dressing/coating or you'll be creating problems. I use Gyeon Tire Cleaner with their brush, then apply Tire Express with a throwaway microfiber. (Gyeon sells little foam applicators for a couple dollars if you want to be ultra precise.)
