    Default Added my RideON Friday

    I added my RideOn to all my new tires Friday. It was a bit rough at first but smoothed out in a relatively short time. Reading the amounts on the bottle while putting them in is kind of hard and my two front tires are slightly different by about an ounce and a half. My ride does not seem to be affected though. I rode a bit before work and then quite a bit yesterday as well. These tires feel good. I really like my new rear tire as well. I am just itching to ride all the time lately. I am having so much fun, I love my spyder and all the neat things we are doing to it and with it.

    I don't know if you saw my ride report in the rain but that rear is doing great for me. Much better than stock so far, I just need to ride in some heavy rain to give a full report.

    By the way I have zero weights on my rims now and the Ride-On is working great all the way to 100+. My Spyder has never been smoother.

    Do you mean - - how much Ride-On to put in front vs rear tire?

    The distributor in San Diego put the automotive formula because of the tires. He said either would work, but the automotive was his recommendation. Same cost. And I asked he put the severe amount...13 oz in front, 17 oz in rear. Living in the desert, I just figured it would not hurt.

    Check this out-

    According to Alex at ride-on, 9 oz. in each front and 13 oz. in rear for 'normal' driving (whatever that means). I haven't put mine in yet. So, I'm wondering if 9 oz. and 13 oz. is too little.

    I read a post the other day on a sports car forum about Ride-On. They had trouble with balance on one wheel when they installed Ride-On and were complaining about it. He had 4 new tires.

    Funny thing was it was the only tire he had trouble with and he didn't balance any of them. The guys were saying to check for deformaties, etc., but it turned the person that installed the tires/Ride-On had left the weights on that one wheel.

    The guy pealed the weights off and it cured his problem.

    Ride-On can't overcome deformaties in the tire and I guess it can only overcome so much out of balance. But that makes sense too.
