how many guys on here use armor all on their tires..should i put it on or not...mainly to keep the tires soft and from dry rotting...

 

NO ARMOR ALL ON TIRES! Most important thing about tires if proper air pressure.

Armor All and other such products on your tires is asking for trouble. Very dangerous way to make yer bike pretty. Listen to anubisss!

 

Slippery hurts. Never shine your tires. Ever. Plus... Armorall drys stuff out! I never use the stuff... even on the body plastic on my Xterra.

Tires... soap, water and check air pressure.

 

think it's slippery in the rain? Try Armor All

Don't do it!

 

wow...i wouldnt put the stuff on the tread of my truck tire let alone my bike......
but i do use it on the sidewall...dont ride on the sidewall, only on the tread.
but maybe some of you ride on the sidewall.........i guess i'm just not cool enough for that yet............................................... ..................

 

What a sh*t product. My old boss in VA that did upholstery for over 30 years says it should never be used, ever. It ruins vinyl, and that is what it was designed for. Vinyl is a petroleum product, like tires, and that product keeps it from breathing, hence it dries out and rots. Did you ever notice some 60's dashes on cars were cracked and some were like new? Guess why.

 

guess my tires dont last for 40 years......................about 8 months at best......but they sure are shiny!

 

After the tires rotate a while the armoral will start to work its way to the theads (gravity).I use an orange cleaner strait out of the bottle on a sponge and wipe the whole tire with it Threads and all. It makes the tires black,shinny,but not slippy!If you don't like it just wash it off with a hose (it's only soap).
