    Default Are there different formulas or something

    So, I was looking and there are different types, for cars, ATVs and motorcycles. Are these different formulas or just different size bottles?

    It is basically different sized bottles. For our Spyders they recommend going with the Auto formula, as they are really more like car tires anyway.

    Default Thanks

    That was what I was wondering. Gotta have the Ride On for when I get the new rims ready to go as balancing is apparently a problem, but with Ride On I don't have to worry about that! Thanks for the info.

    When I got my powder coated rims, we traveled with one in my trunk and the other in my wife's looking for a place that would mount and balance them for me. Finally, the 5th shop we stopped at said it would not be a problem and they did a great job. However, they said they would not want to remove my rear tire and do that one for me.

    I've already planned for that...taking new rear rim (after powder coated) with new tire I just ordered to tire shop. I hope they mount the tire on the rim since it won't have the sprocket or anything on it, then I've actually found a guy that was laid off due to the economy that is certified to work on Spyders who is going to put the back wheel on as well as a few other things (cheaper than the dealership of course). Basically, he can do everything but the mounting of the wheel on the rim and balancing it because he doesn't have the equipment for that. So, it looks like I'll have it all done...it's just I have to go through a process from one person/place to the next...so when all is said and done I will have used three separate places for the back wheel alone, but once it is done it will be worth it. I just want it done already because soon it will be riding season!! Hopefully it will be completed before March 20th because I'm wanting to put it in a show I think on that day, maybe it's the next weekend though, I don't remember for sure.

    You have been doing your homework, and have a great plan so far. I am also hoping it all works out for you as smoothly as possible. Hopefully you will be able to make it to that show and really turn some heads.

    If you experience some tire bounce after you put the ride-on in your tires dont be alarmed. It will take a few miles for centrifugal force to coat the tires and smooth out the ride.

    Very good point. That is also written on their web site, but if you did not see it or realize it is there it could feel a little troublesome.
