Have motorcycle formula.

Has anybody used this formula in Car Tire ?

Do you balance tire with weights then install or Let the Ride-On do the balancing ?

Appreciate any input from anyone that has used this product !!!

I have it in both tires. When I installed the tires, and put ride-on in, instead of
balancing the tires, i just yanked the weights off and put them on the shelf.

Some VRCC members use car ride-on. The ride-on people say not to use  car
ride-on in motorcycle tires. You'll have to decide.

Have been Darkside a long time - I have the Motorcycle formula in question of putting in the car tire.

I just need to get the Car Tire Formula and all will be good.

Thanks for the Input Mike.

Hopefully see you at the Fall Color Ride.

When I called the Ride On Tech line they recommended putting the m/c formula in car tires used on bikes.  The m/c formula is thinner and will flow up the sidewall during turns and the car formula won't because it is thicker.  That being said, I have it in my car tire.

I use the MC formula in both, ME880 on the front, and rear CT (Potenza G019) as recommended by the factory. Works great.

I have the car formula in both my bikes.
Car tires on rear and rear bike tires on front.
All have lead along with the Ride-On.
Some tires having the lead helps with the lateral or wobbles issues in some tire sizes with small rear rims.

In other words.
Lead cant hurt anything.
If the tire were to throw a weight the Ride -On has and will make up for its loss to a degree.
I dont feel any need for it on the Valk but do on my Yamaha, the lead that is.
My personal preference is for the car formula in the manner I have my bikes set up.
If I were using a regular bike front.
That tire would have the bike formula in it.

Same here, factory recommended M/C formula in a darkside as well when I called and asked just this question.
