Ride-on for auto's seems hard to find. Are you using MC for the car tires ?

 

 

I think its all the same, just less per oz in the bigger bottles.

 

 

I looked on amazon , only found the MC type. I haven't used it before but have a tire change coming up so thought I'd give it a try

 

Check the Ride On web sight.

 

I get mine at Cycle Gear locally. They have the MC type.

 

Ride On MC is DIFFERENT than Ride On for cars!! Use the Bike stuff regardless of tire on a MC.

I read the link above, but it doesn't really address the issue of which product to use if you are putting a car tire on a bike. I'd think, due to the different shape of the tires, the internal, road contact portion surface of a car tire being flatter than the more rounded shape of a bike tire, the car type Ride On might be better.

In my situation, I will be putting a car tire on the rear of a bike with a sidecar, so the tire will be subjected to forces more similar to being on a car, with the tread flat to the road instead of leaning through turns, so I will be using the car type Ride-On in the rear. Differing opinions welcome, I'm a couple weeks from installing the tire, so any good info would be appreciated.

 

Yep, I believe you are correct in using the car tire formula. The web sight describes the difference in the two versions of the product.
