    AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Silicone stuff is how my nightmare started. Although, if it's only going on the tyre side walls.... S'pose that would be ok.

    Just your life. Really not sure putting "oil" on your tyres is a good idea mate. I know it's the side walls, but in a severe bend, your side walls will inevitably be touching the ground.

    I really don't think the peanut oil on the sidewalls would be a problem Andy.

    Maybe. Tell you what, you try it. And if after a couple of weeks you've stopped posting, we'll all know why.

    OK Andy...so you honestly think putting oil on...then washing it all off is going to effect my cornering?

    I don't think it will be any different from putting on any other tyre dressing.

    Will let you know
