Adding Ride On to your tires - Good, Bad, Opinions?

[Pooch]

I'm sorry but I don't really remember... whatever they recommended for the size tires I had on the Gold Wing trike. I know I had a BT46 on for a front tire but honestly don't remember what car tires were on the rear... that was in 2017 and I have since sold the trike and bought the Spyder. There was a chart or reference on the Ride-On website as to how much was needed for whichever size tire.
I ordered it but my neighbor actually squeezed the stuff into the tires as it did take some muscle to get the tubes squeezed out well.

I do recall it was a real tough squeeze back in the day on my GW, hopefully they have improved that. I used a clamp arrangement to get it out. When I run out of Kenda's, I'm getting some Ride-On.

I’ve been riding M/C since I was 16 and I’m 80 now. During that time, I’ve never had a wheel balance problem, and only once have I actually suffered rolling flat tire. Also during that time I have never, ever put any kind of goop into my tires and I don’t intend to start now. Also in that same time period, I’ve had numerous flat tires on my cars, but again have never put any goop into them. jmho

26 states on original tires with two spyders- no issues

Pooch if this was an answer to my question??? ..... It didn't .... How does one know HOW MANY OUNCES ARE GOING INTO THE TIRE? ...... Do you put the Ride-on into a measuring cup and then use a funnel to get it through the valve stem??? .... Mike :thumbup:

The Ride-On tubes contain x-amount of ounces of Ride-On. The tube is squeezed directly into the tire valve stem area.

Example only… not intended to be used as fact…. if the tube contains 6 oz and the recommended amount to apply to one tire is 12 oz.. you would need to buy 2 tubes for one tire x 3 tires = 6 tubes to purchase.

Thank you this makes sense now ....Mike :thumbup:
