You're talking about the Miller tire paint (or equivalent)? It works surprisingly well, lasts surprisingly long, and a very small amount of it covers a surprisingly large area. It definitely lasts longer than armor-all, and makes tires look a little more authentically new-looking, unlike the greasy shine the armor-all type products give. It also fills in some of the tiny cracks to some extent, which the armor-all type products don't.
It doesn't 'fix' the cracks, nor add a huge degree of protection, so it's only really use is for show purposes. Some folks say the armor-all type products add a little better UV protection (though it doesn't last long), others say the silicone-based products like armor-all actually harm old tractor tires and cause them to degrade.
If this is for a work tractor, I wouldn't bother with any product. If you're trying to make it look good for a show, the Miller paint will work and look better than the armor-all. It's more like a stain than a paint - it soaks into the rubber just a little but also coats the surface.
I wish I had more of it, I only ever had one partial jug I picked up at an auction. No where here in Canada seems to sell it anymore, and when I tried to order from the US I found out the shipping cost and hoops you have to ump through to ship a paint product across the border are ridiculous.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
