Tire shine gel wont make tires slippery?

[umairhashmi]

I was looking at the stuff they sell for cars that you put on your tires to make em shiny.Is it okay to use it on bike tires too? I dont wanna slip

Then don't put them on, they will make your tires very slippery. Don't make this mistake, leave it for the cagers.

+1 You can use Mothers back-on-black... there is no lubricant there... tested many times... pricey tho... $5 for small bottle.

I've done the sidewalls, but, DO NOT LET ANY OF IT TOUCH CONTACT/TRACTION AREA!!! YOU WILL CRASH!! Don't even put it on chicken strips. You may need that area when you least expect it.

Actually I use foam and go ! Seems to work OK, just treat the tires like they're new for the first 5 miles

Not a good idea at all! I must admit I did it a few times when I was a newb and thankfully didn't live to regret it, but won't do it again.
