Put all the armorall on your tires you want it will not hurt or do a dam thing I have used it for 15 years some times you have to let the urban legens bull just slide off.
I repeat armorall will not casue you to cash wreck or destroy your tires.
They do not make a shovel big enought to handel some of this stuff

i personally do NOT use armorall on any of my vehicles. it has nothing to do with saftey. i just do not care for that look. as long as you keep it off the tread you will be fine. i did see a dumb dumb detail a sport bike and armor all the tread. the bike belonged to his former boss. YES i said FORMER boss. when the guy got on the bike to leave work that day he didn't even look at the bike just hopped on and started to take off....lol made it about 25 feet before dumping the bike then the dumb dumb got fired (which wasn't so funny).

the road grime from oil and such in the roadway is the source of many more issues than amour all.

T002

In the younger days, I stupidly put it on my tires, seat, and anything else that looked like it needed a shine. Whatever you do keep it away from the radiused road surface where the tire meets the asphalt.

For those who think it's ok, keep it up, I need to know what auction your insurance provider uses to auction off your wrecked bike.

AA will make you lose the front or the rear in a curve without thinking.

Old Skool Lowriders back when I was a kid used good ol' Coca Cola (the real stuff, pre-Diet Coke days) on the sides of their tires.

Made them shine like a ***** and 0% petroleum or anything close to slippery.
