I have used RIDE-On in the last set of tires and just put it in yesterday on the new set. I have never had a puncture. When the tech started I warned him about the sealent , just so he would be ready when he poped the bead and would not get it all over. I checked later and he said that it was just in the tire. It was 8 oz per tire and it was just staying there. Never seems to puddle, no rim corrosion etc. Suppose to balance the wheel and I can't say it does't. Suppose to plug 1/4" holes in tubless and 1/8th holes in tubed tires. I got 15500 out of this set and was not down to wear bars yet. Probably gone to 18000. I'll keep using it on my tires............

I put the ride-on in both my 03 Heritage and my 07 Ultra... Never have had a puncture, "Knock on wood",,,, BUT,,, I figure for the few dollars it is cheap insurance and peace of mind.... Hopefully I never find out if it ruly works or not....,,

I use the Ride-On system... have for years. I did have a puncture with it... ran over a beer bottle, which broke and glass was sticking out of tire. Pulled the glass out (heard it crunch), some of the sealant leaked out with the glass, but it sealed right up... no detectable loss of air pressure. Plus, haven't had to balance a tire since I started using it... keeps those chrome rims clean-looking!

How could I have not know about the TPS? This is the stuff I have been looking for. Inexpensive and a little bit of insurance when on the road. Great peace of mind while travelling. I will be ordering some bottles for Christmas. Appreciate the input, guys.
