There are to sensitive they are set off by the slightest noise.I live in a apartment bldg,work nights and sleep during the day.Vehicles that are park on the street when the alarms are triggered continue to sound,whats seems like a very long time.Making all kinds of different sounds which are embedded in my brain.Either they turn off on there own or until the owner arrives.What can be done about this.Anyone with the some problem how do you cope with this(I‘m very tired).
Are you talking about the WHOLE tire or just on the side a little bit. If you mean the whole tire, No way, I agree with the person above, You could lose traction, esp in the rain. Not a good idea.
I wouldn't shine the whole tire. I usually take some amoral and a sponge. Spary two (per side) squrits on the sponge and work it on to the side walls.
Background noise. Get a fan or something you can leave on while you sleep, to make an even background noise. Nothing you can do about the alarms.
Only if you do it VERY carefully, to the sidewalls only. Do not get ANY of it on the tread area, or you will be picking your scuffed-up bike off the road very soon.
