Ride-ON Tire Sealant and Balancer VS Wheel Weights

IMCWORTH · 01-21-2024, 11:38 PM

For years I have been using Ride-On with my motorcycles and Cars to balance my wheels.
I hate Wheel weights they look terrible and leave debris when taking them off.
Now I haven't had a Hot Rod for a bit and was wondering if anyone has used this on their Camaro or any other car or bike.
I do not track but I do have miles and miles of twisty's where I live so I do take the car on a track like atmosphere.

Well, you seem to like it, but from a logical perspective I don’t see how it could possibly lower tire temps. Science tells me that something moving independently within the tire creates friction. Also it would seem to be potentially damaging to the tpms. Again if it works for you, you’d know better than anyone else I’m guessing.

Fellow motorcyclist here. Don't use that crap in your car tires. Wheel weights are better because they are fixed in place. If car manufacturers thought that stuff was a good idea, they would put it in their cars.

use low profile stick on weights and cover them with high temp black foil tape. Make it neat and they disappear.
