Anybody using this stuff?

Just saw this and wondered if it's any good or just total rubbish? :ummm:

Sure makes a lot of claims:

1) Seals punctures instantly as you ride. (the hole will be sealed within a few rotations of the tire)​

2) Automatically BALANCES your tires to ZERO balance. (saves you money and improves handling)​

3) Special corrosion inhibitors prevent tire dry rot that leads to small slow leaks.​

4) Extends tire life by 25% or MORE. (change your tires less often, saving you hundreds of $$$)​

5) Helps your tires run cooler. (extending tire life and wear)​

6) Seals punctures with fibers that are SIX TIMES STRONGER THAN STEEL.​

7) Washes out simply with water. Environmentally SAFE !!​

8) Maintains proper inflation in your tires.​

9) Prevents RUST on your steel or aluminum rims.​

10) Remains effective to MINUS - 40 degrees below zero and +250 degrees above zero Fahrenheit.

Sounds like it takes care of everything but warts, corns and facial acne!! :biglaugh:

I can't bring myself to trust any product that makes that many claims. :hmmm:

I have not used that particular brand of tire sealant.
I do use tire slime which can be bought at any automotive store or wal mart.
I only use the stuff in my car tires since 20in wheels tend to leak air in cold weather.

22.75 is over priced!!!

I don't know anything about this stuff but what I would be concerned with is the storage life of this stuff during winter storage. I tried to a search for "Ride On tire protection system" reviews but didn't come up with anything really convincing.
It seems that the touring types prefer to repair the leak/ damaged tire while on the road. The also carry a very small compressor to refill their tires with air. Sport-Touring.net had a discussion about some of their solutions to tire problems.

I used Tire Slime on my last set of tires (Bridgestone) because there was a tiny nail puncture that would leak down in about a week. Worked great for about 2000 miles until I purchased my Shinkos. No balance issues or anything, but what a freakin' mess I had on my hands when I mounted the Shinks'. I can't imagine the stuff on ebay is too much different. I guess a mess when changing sneakers is better than a flat along side the highway.
