Do you armor-all yor tires?
I got sick of seeing the "filling your tires with foam "thread up for so long..
I figured I could break the monotony..
If you guys put tire dressing on your tires what do you use?
I like armorall on my bike tires, but use black magic which smells bad but lasts longer on my car.
Warning: Don't get any on your rims or your brakes do not work if you have any type of rim brakes!
I found out the hard way at my first stop sign.
Also don't spray the tread, or your seat, or hand grips , or peddles.
I did that on my motorcycle once and I'm lucky to still be here to admit my stupidity..
Be caREFUL AND hAve fUn..

For tire sidewalls I use ATF.

Yikes? It works very, very well and helps preserve the rubber/ combat dry rot.

I went for a ride to see my mom 2 weeks ago and one of her neighbors stopped
by while walking her dog. I looked down and saw her dog peeing all over my bike wheel.......
I think the front one
What do you say? ... Not cute or funny to me...
By the way dog wee wee doesn't make a good tire shine in case you were wondering.Last edited by srdavo; 09-08-2010 at 04:05 PM. Reason: Bypassed word censor.....

It does lead to corrosion though.

Armor-all and Formula 2001 are so 90's. Time to move on to better things. I use this:

As long as you are using your bike you don't need to worry about dry rot. If they are the same as car tires that is. There is a compound in car tires that works (slowly) to the outside of the tires when driving that prevents dry rot. Think about it, have you every had dry rot on a DD car? When I was living full time in the motorhome that is what Michelin Tires told me.
