I use this in all my bike tires, thinking of putting it in my wife's van.  Like to know if anyone here has used it on autos and your thoughts.  On ebay, I see mc and atv sealant but no auto/suv stuff.



Thanks in advance.

I run it in my bikes' tires whether it's motorcycle tires or the car tire rears on my three Valks.

Go on their web site not ebay !

It will NOT plug big holes

You may notice, if your bike has sat for a good while that it takes a few miles for the ride to smooth out

I put in more than the minimum recommended dose

Passing thru Desmoines many years ago I had a run over something that made a BIG hole

I ran at highway speed flashing my lights and hitting the air horn(trying to alert G-Man who was listening to his tunes on the earphones )
but he never noticed me so after a few miles I had to pull off the road, as the handling was gettin rough
with loss of the air in that 200 series tire  (Exedra max)

I credit the ride on with avoiding a blow out  cheap insurance

the pic is right after I tried to plug the hole with 2 plugs   they blew out in less than a mile shredding the tire nicely and I needed a tow  the rest is history

LOL!  I wouldn't expect it to patch a hole that big!  1/4" is what they claim.  I also use it in my darkside rear tires, but wondered if anyone here had it in the car/suv, wondering how well is balances and seals with the extra weight.  On their site, all car/suv product is sold out. 

Anyone used the ATV stuff in bike or cars?

Ebay price for 5 gal with pump ranges from 350 to 890!  350 offered free shipping, 890 wanted to charge you shipping!

Again, thanks

There is a comparative testing of three sealants by FortNine:

It is just 6 minutes video but they measured the effectiveness for 3 factors: balance, clean up (of the wheel past application) and sealant capability.

The best for actually sealing punctures was Sahara Moto tire sealant.

I'm running Sahara sealant in all four of my Valkyries' tires.  No complaints so far.  Big 34 oz. bottles, 20 oz. in the car tires, the other 14 in the front tires.  Rated high speed, and less spendy than Ride-On.
