I've been using the stuff that comes in an orange bottle with a foam applicator. Looks great, but one trip over 40 and it's all over the place.

I guess it depends on how shinny you like it, but I've been using 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's not real glossy, but it gives the tires (and any plastic trim) and nice dark finish. Makes it look very clean. But again, it does't give the put-your-sunglasses-on-because-it-so-shinny appearance. Also, it doesn't spatter all over the place when you drive.

Off a suggestion by Rockpick I started using Hyper dressing and it is by far the best stuff I have found for my tires. Spray it on, let it dry and then even it out using a tire swipe. It comes in a concentrate so you can dilute it to your liking from a matte finish to a high gloss.
Next best stuff I found was Meguires Gold Class Ensurance High Gloss, but it slings unless you really let it dry. I haven't tried a tire swipe on it though so I may give that a try when I run out of hyper dressing.

Lumadar --- 2:1
Tinker around with it to see what you like best.
1:1 is HIGH shine
2:1 is mediocre shine
3:1 is just a little pop
4:1 is matte, for the most part
I've toyed with it at 6:1 and the tire looked BRAND NEW with little to no gloss. The problem was that it didn't really last very well...
2:1 and 1:1 actually do a great job at lasting...
