Wait til you've scattered a couple of 10-15 year old tires at 70+ mph. And, yes I have. It's all at once, and took out some of the body work around the wheel well. Both times.
Very dangerous- thank goodness I was going in a straight line.

I also ride motorcycles. Old tires get stiff, hard. Traction may become a problem.

A surface application of anything is not going to help the structural integrity of the casing.
