I just stumbled upon this short motorcycle tire FAQ on the Dunlop site

http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/infocenter_faq.asp

The one thing that surprised me is that they recommend against using tire protectants and cleaners because they may cause premature cracking, etc.

I know you should never use automotive tyre black (I use Armour All) on bike tyres as it leaves them shiney and slippy!

Don't ask...

I cant say it surprises me any. With all the stresses placed on bike tires.

Semi off-topic, but Lemon Pledge works great for mounting new tires

I was under the impression that "Armour All" or its equivalent reduced ozone - U V damage. ( Yeah, I know...keep it off the contact patch.) Any thoughts on this?

Armour All is silicone.
