Ride-on in a Darkside?

[Fudd]

Which one would you use:  Motorcycle or Auto grade?

I see it takes 13-16 ozs in a 205/60/16 but,
I note "do not use auto ride-on in a motorcycle because of speeds and tire type."

I don't get it about speed, aren't they pretty much the same.  I drive everything as fast as I can go without undue tickets.

Tire type?  It's a car tire, bottom line.  Right?

O yeah, the other thing.
$19.95  16 oz bottle for auto
$14.95    8 oz bottle for motorcycles  (2 bottles required)

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be cheap, I want to put the right one in it.

Anybody got some experence here?

No experiance, but if they have 2 types, then they are one of 2 things.

They are specific for the type of tire, MC/CT, or they are trying to rip MC owners off.

Either one, buy the CT formula for the CT and the MC formula for the MC tire.

Speed? Ya, right, I drive my MC/Car faster/slower than the other. If that is true, then there would be different formulas for different diameter tires. A 20" truck tire spines slower at a given speed than my 13" car tires does. Unless I'm wrong, most MC tires are bigger than most cars I've ever owned (16"+ compared to 15"- ).

Thanks for your input.

After reading their data, It looks like this stuff runs on the inside surface of the tread.  Not around the side walls, bead line or valve stem.  So in that sense only the diameter of the tire would be in consideration, not the rim size.

Of course big rigs would be another matter,  huge tire diameters (slower rotation at hiway speeds)and high tire pressures.  I'm guessing a whole different weight or formula there.

I think I'll order the "auto stuff" tonight when I get home.  I still have some twisties to tame before dark.
