I find that Meguires Endurance lasts longer than Zaino Z16 and is the same low shine deep black look. It is also less expensive. You can get it at most auto parts stores.

I probably have 6-8 tire dressings in the detailing closet. No matter what the brand they all work pretty much the same. If you want matte, use one application and wipe off with microfiber. If you want gloss, two coats, let it dwell for 30 min and wipe off excess.

^^^^ This.....I've tried them all too. Not a ton of difference. I like my tires to be shiny black-just the way they looked when delivered.

Some of you guys are unbelievable. So, if someone uses a tire dressing, they're a douchebag???
WOW.
Tell you what. BUY the OP a car with the stipulation that he CANNOT use tire dressing and then you can live happily ever after.
Back to the original question. I like Surf City Garage Beyond Black. Nice black finish, between gloss and matte, appearance wise, let it dry for 20 minutes (per the instructions) and no sling.
