Yea. You are only supposed to spray that stuff on the sidewalls of a car. Cars don't really lean over when they turn, so it's not a big deal. But if you put it on the entire tire, you might burn out a bit in your cage before going anywhere.



+1 for reading the instructions.

Cars don't use the sidewalls for traction, bikes do.
Actually the sidewall is the part of the tire not used by motorcycles. It's the part between the rim and the traction surface. You can make the sidewall as slippery as you want and you'll never notice a difference. But if you accidently get some on the traction surface, it'll be pucker time. :shock:
