I tried it and it does balance the tires but it dried up in a strip about 2" wide around the inside center of the tire so how it would seal a puncture outside that area I am skeptical. Berrymans tire sealer will do the same thing for a lot less money, balance the tire and it stays liquid and will not corrode the rim, and it will seal a puncture.
You need to watch the video on the web sight. There is a certain cross section area that RideOn protects, if the correct amount for the size tire it's being put in is used.
You are correct, it does not protect outside that area, not does any other brand. I know of nothing that will save a flat tire if the side wall is punctured.
Not sure what you mean by dried up?
I thought it stayed some what vicious so it would not only seal a puncture up to the size stated but, also "moves" around some to keep the tire balanced as it wears.
No vested interest in this company. I have been using it for years, mainly to balance the tires while also enjoying protection from the most common causes of flat tires.
Never heard of Berryman's-will check it out. Thanks

I did watch the video and put in the recommended amount.
The stuff was dray and solid, I kept the tires around for a couple years to remind me to never buy that brand again, starts with a B and ends with stone. The stuff never moved from the way it was when I took the tires off. I am not the only one who got the same result.
OK, proper amount was installed.
What kind of movement did you expect, if the tires were removed and were just sitting around?
If there is any "movement" of the product at all, I'm confident it is a very slight movement and takes place at highway speeds with the riding temps increases induced during sustained speeds, not when sitting still.
Whom else has had this exerience, since you must be aware of more from your post?
Sorry, for your experience, I can only state, again, after years of use, I have had no adverse problems, ever!
Have reviewed the web sight for the Barryman's product. I can't find any info about it being a balancer, only a sealant. Did I miss something?
Spring time seems to have finally arrived here:claps: I'm going riding:waving:
