What kind of oil should I use in my tires?

If I use a completely synthetic energy-saving oil in my high mileage tires, will they get even more mileage because of less friction? Of if I change my tires and oil often enough, does it really matter?


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
No need to use oil in your tires. Be sure to change the air weekly. Distilled air is best.
 
I have always found nitrogen-aerated oil to be the best. 8-[

There have been no reliable conclusions on the difference between natural or synthetic nitrogen. \\:D/


.
 
Only use a branded synthetic tire oil in your tires of a weight equal to half the diameter of the rim. ANYTHING else will dramatically shorten the life of your oil pressure relief valve and increase the wear your rims experience.

silicon will give them a fuller look ....:shock: although have installation done by a professional...

Make sure you fill them only with the highest quality synthetic snake oil. Also important is the quality of the argon-helium mixture you inflated them with. You did get the negative ion filtered, .01 μM tolerance, double ozmosized mixture right?
 
im not sure

im not sure

really frigging nuts!

if this is true not a joke of some massive ..well then i cant think of a more dangerous thing to do.

perhaps just put a slick on the road ad h2o and put a blind fold on.then wiggle youre handle bars really fast..
or a gun would be less painfull.

or that dude that was riding the other time with worn out sprockets.!

urrraaaghhhhh

But then, I never studied law!

Uh, yeah! I'd hate to have the oil in my tires installed upside down! :confused:

While you're at it, apply a thick coat to the outside of the tires. Coat the rotors too so everything matches.
Now run it up to 120 to blow off the excess and you're good.

Just don't spill any oil on that powerband or you know what could happen...

And lately I've heard a secret tip from the drag strip crowd about tire oil, for longer lasting tire life...

Spread that oil on the OUTSIDE of the tires......Now THAT will reduce the friction just in exactly the manner that'll impress you (and everyone else) as to your riding ability (and after just a short trip.....the actual fuel consumption will likely abruptly go down....way down).

I love how that bike looks like it's got one eyebrow raised, very Spock-like....

And I'll have you guys know that you're giving seriously dangerous advice here......only ultra-lightweigh synthetic positive-ion nitrogen-enhanced oil should be used in the tires. For longer life, also use double-distilled air, not the cheap single-distilled previously mentioned. Triple-refined butane, cooled to a minimum of 40 degrees F, can be used if double distilled O2 is unavailable, but make sure to replace the agitator inlet with the appropriate adaptor.

And for the record, I only use the finest quality carnuba wax on the exterior of my tires. Oil picks up too much debris.\\:D/

So I'm standing in the driveway with a 5-gal jug of 10w40 and a funnel trying to find the right port...
 
Seriously now, back to the question. It all depends on your riding style. I use 5-20 in the severe cold but switch to 20-50 in the severe heat.
