Slime?

Is Slime tire sealer any good?

[mikeexplorer]

I have used it where tire plugs would not seal a puncture and it works. Some have suggested putting slime in their tires as a preventive measure but I would not do that.

I use it as a last resort.

I have mixed feelings on tire slime and have used it in automotive applications. Lots of landscapers use it with their tractors. If you go fast it can throw the tire out of balance enough to feel it even on an ATV. I find if you have good tread on your tires, you wont get a puncture and when you do just, use a tire plug. Now, if you are in an area where you are going to pick up small punctures then tire slime as a preventive measure like @mikeexplorer  says may be a solution. I try and carry an ATV Tire Repair Kit like this:

 

You can also try Quadboss ATV Tire Sealant:

Slime coats the tire and rim and is a pain to get off the rim. At my house if a plug or patch can't fix a hole in a tire it gets and inner tube. there was one time my stepfather got a flat at night and him and a friend left the wheeler on the side of the trail and spend an hour finding and inner tube then put a new one in the tire.

I agree with @mrfartsalot , slime is messy. plug and patch or put a tube in.

If you use slime, pay someone else to change your tire.

Definitely this, but also tell them about it first. I used slime about 10 years ago in a tyre, took the wheels to be replaced with new tyres and forgot about the slime in them (it was almost 2 years after I'd put it in).

Needless to say, I was their most hated customer the moment the tyre separated from the rim and Satan's fart juice spread all over the workshop. That stuff gets everywhere.

i fixed my brothers car tire leak with tire slime (put the slime in the tire and drove around 20 minutes to spin it everywhere) when we parked his car we made sure the leak*it was this screw in the tire/we left the screw unremoved because we didn't want to gamble making a bigger hole (when we parked his car in the garage we made sure the screw/air leak was exactly at 6o clock to let gravity pool the slime in the area!
