Default using vinyl/rubber cleaner for tires?

I have a lot of the vinyl/rubber cleaner spray leftover which I don't use that much. Since it cleaner rubber, would it be safe using it on the tire instead of using tire foam/shine products?

Some rubber and vinyl cleaner stuff like armor all contains a chemical or property that can actually accelerate the deterioration of the rubber in the tires. i read an article in an old magazine that listed why and the products that are good for the tires and can actually shine and rejuvenate them.

It all depends on the weather in your area. I wouldnt use it if I still lived in Phoenix, AZ. Alot of those chemicals will suck all the moisture out the material. During the crazy hot summers, your tires will crack quicker than normal. So Im not really sure, this is just my own opinion.
