303 Aerospace Can Double the Life/Mileage of Your Tire's Tread?

[Eldorado2k]

But I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts 303 Aero says some where don't use it on tire treads or surfaces. Common sense would tell you the liabilities would be in the millions of dollars. Show me where the manufacturer says to use it on tire teads, I want to be the first in line on the law suit.

I’ll double down on the same bet... I thought I made that clear enough. Forgive me, next time I’ll make sure to spell it out in order for you to understand...

Of course it’s nowhere near as bold as far as the claims, but that’s to be expected.

Btw similar Does Not mean the same... For example 3D Final Touch is similar to Meguiars Last Touch, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out they’re not the same.

Just tapping on the gas pedal in a rain storm, and I can bust my back tires loose instantly. (Thank you, Hemi).

But soaking the tread in something to make it slicker? Scary.

It's been raining every day here this week and my front wheel drive 170hp Rogue does that LOL, so yeah, no, I don't think I'll put a trie dressing on the tread surface of my tires. What has happened to common sense right Paul. :cheers:

Well that’s a bad comparison... I mean 303 is afterall a rubber protectant. ONR in the intake manifold? That doesn’t even remotely make sense.

It's called an "analogy" E2K. So it does make sense when taken in those terms.

Try some 303 on your rubber floor mats and have fun driving. Slick, and trying to get it off after applying is not easy.

Just leave them out in the rain. Done. Lol

Softer tires wear faster. Fact. 303 will prevent UV damage and dry cracking, but will not make the tire wear slower. That whole premise is crackpot. Not to mention, any shred of believably was lost when he said that Armor All works just as well, too. Good grief.

He claims no affiliation with 303 but then is pimping an Amazon link in the comments to get kickbacks from their Amazon Associates sales connection. 8,100+ views on that snake oil video, I wonder how much they have made in the affiliate marketing program to date?

EDIT: I just looked at his other videos, they all list a ton of Amazon Affiliate links in the descriptions. Geesh. He's using YouTube as an ATM.

Makes me wonder if the op is getting a piece of the click bait pie.

People use 303 Protectant on rubber. No one uses ONR on or in an engine, therefore it was a bad analogy.

There's no reasoning with you E2K. Have a nice night.

There is this man, on YT, who demonstrates different tips and tricks for automobiles, and owns and operates his own auto business, and claims that tires soaked for 24 hours in 303 Aerospace will double your tire's tread mileage. He claims that he's tried this method more than once, and claims it works. He advises to soak all of the tire's rubber, from the outside, and let it sit to soak the 303.
It sounds to good to be true that 303 can double the mileage, however, this guy seems to have no stake in 303, and seems trust worthy otherwise. His channel name is,"Sweet project cars," or something thereof.

What are your guy's thoughts?

Also, I just bought new tires from the internet and have them soaking in my garage right now. I suppose that in a couple years, maybe a few, that I will know if this is legit.

What do you use to soak the tires in? How much product does it take?

Here’s the link to the video. I don’t normally go around vouching for this guy and I honestly couldn’t care less what you think about him. But IMO he doesn’t come across as a flat out liar in this video.

YouTube

He probably really believes it but that obviously doesn't mean he is right

 

[fightnews]

I think as someone else said in the thread. 303 won't last more then a week on exterior trim so nevermind actually being on the tread. It would be taken clean off in the first 20 feet of driving

 

[Eldorado2k]

No, according to the video he’s showing actual proof. Did you watch the video?? It’s not very long. Watch it and tell me if he seems like he’s making the stuff up. If he smells like a BS artist then I’ll be quiet and you won’t hear anymore from me about this subject...

Ok, this guy drags a rat tail file across three different compounds, none of them tire compounds. Fast forward through that bit. His customer has 100k on his tires with decent tread left. I can believe that. Personally, I would never remount tires with that kind of mileage on them, no matter how good they looked. The problem is that there is no control for this test. No untreated tire to compare tread wear to. Even if there were, if it was on the same vehicle, no car wears all four tires the same. So this test would have to be performed at a test wear lab such as tire manufacturers use to rate treadwear.
With that said, I will say that I've seen many tires with dry rot/cracking in tread grooves with none present on the sidewalls, so perhaps 303 or some other product would help there, but you would have to re-apply it religiously.
Tire life basically boils down to what the rubber compound is, how you drive, power and weight of the vehicle, heat, ozone, driving surface roughness, wheel alignment, and probably some others I can't think of right now.

Horsepuckey! No proof just claims.

 

[MattPersman]

Just soak half the tire in 303 in 20k miles or so there should be a considerable egg shaped tire as one half should have worn twice as the other and you should be able to measure it

Or you can do one out of 2 tires and let us know in 50k miles with proper rotations and alignments how the one treated tire has half the wear Of the other one. Will wait for the necro post in a few years

Make sure your insurance policy is up to date because on your first turn you'll be off the road and into whatever lies off the road. LOL.

Okay, but I'm not sure why that's funny.

Seems you are a suspicious person. No, I'm not getting kick-backs.

The idea is that through persistent application, the rubber will absorb the 303 well beyond the surface layer.
