  • Tire care question

    Hi all, I came across the following page when checking out K491 Elite II's and am concerned that I've used Armour All and other products on past tires:

    Does this apply to Armour All also?

    Yes. This applies to Armor All and most other "preservative" products.

    Guys who have gotten this stuff on the tire tread report very slippery tires, to the point of danger.

    Besides, your tires should wear out before they have a chance to get weather-checked......

      When I was roadracing in the early 80's we (I was the recipient a few times) would ArmorAll someone's seat when he wasn't looking. When the rider was distracted we'd spray the seat of his leathers too. Makes it easier to slide around on the bike. First time it happened to me I got on the bike on the left and darn near slid off the right. I imagine it still goes on today.

          Yeah Sid, you're right.. that WAS rotten. But, I bet you're just like me.. upset that you didn't think of it first.
