I guess 2 wheelers are not supposed to used tire dressings. Had a motor cycle rider ask someone if they had motorcycle tire dressing. Im thinking, the Armoral is right there dude!!!

Since you lean motorcycles and ride close to the side wall, you NEVER want to use anything on the tires.

Amen, Never ever dress your tires, you probably just save someone from bodily injury or worse with this thread....

Its fine I use it all the time just dont slop it on and stay away from the treads...if you lean your your scoot down past treads into the sidewall your going to meet the road fast either way...lol
DO NOT SPRAY tire dressing on motorcycle tires. If you want nice, black tires, apply the dressing to a rag, and wipe it on. AVOID ANY TREAD SURFACE. Even if you get it on the tread edges a little by wiping, it's not going to harm anything. There's not many people here that lean hard enough in corners to get to the lean angle where the last 1/4" of tread is used anyway.

Unfortunately tire dressings migrate as tires are in fact pourous. On a motorcycle tire as the tread is not flat the dressing will migrate more quickly to the treads and while that may not be very noticable on dry roads you really do not want to find out how it reacts while going over a wet railroad crossing or while traversing a metal grated bridge.

I don't put anything on my tires, it's not worth the risk to have a shiny tire.

We have one of those Swing bridges in New bedford mass. It's well over 100 yrs old. The mid section has a metal grate roadway. I crossed that bridge on my scooter one time and one time only. NEVER AGAIN! They have cobblestone roads in the historic district too. I stay away from those ;Dand I use nothing but soap and water on my tires. |

Won't make it shine but if you like clean looking tires, scrub them with a brush and a cleanser like Comet.

That bridge is US6 between New Bedford & Fairhaven, right? |
