I keep reading posts about products that we should NOT use on our tires, that cause problems. My Toyo's need a little face lift.
Any recommendations on a SAFE product to use??
Thanks.
303 Aerospace Protectant is the only one approved by Michelin, I believe.
AND elbow grease. :))
Not really-- with 303 it is wipe on, let sit a few minutes and wipe off.
The tech I talked to at Michelin said they do not recommend any tire treatment . Still have the can of 303 spray
I use Wizards . Recommended by a friend. Name escapes me right now but he bought Brett's coach.
Just my 2 cents. And that's about all it may be worth. The rubber covering on the outside of the tire is not structural to the ability to carry the load. Rather it is there to protect the inner cords and beads from moisture intrusion. IMHO one would be better served to cover your tires( preferably with a white material to reflect heat) when stored for extended periods, and in the case of parking on dirt or gravel use boards. Any thing you can wipe on the outside of a tire ain't doing much except looks, remember it's rubber not much is going to penetrate it. Way back n the old days we used brake fluid to shine em up. 303 is a great product it certainly is not going to hurt anything.
Michelin quit recommending products because they did not want to be responsible for testing the huge number of new tire dressing products. That does not mean they don't approve 303.
They recommend against any products containing petroleum distillates.
New Bike in a Can. Use it on every thing. You can thank me later.
I'd rather have crap on my alligator boots made from my on alligator than crap on my tires. You can spit shine and detail a unit but if it has dirty tires and wheels it's like wearing a new suit with dirty flip flops. More than an opinion.
Yet another ^.^d for 303. Makes the tire mat-black not shiny or greasy. And greasy is a dirt magnet. But shiny looks nice for a few minutes.
