To SLIME or NOT TO SLIME!

Do you put SLIME in your tires?

Several years ago I was not a believer. There was no way you were going to get me to put that crap inside my brand new tires. Nope… not going to happen. Then during one of our weekend adventures my tire kept going flat. A buddy talked me into putting slime in it. And what do you know, It worked! The tire did not go flat. He showed me the light and now Slime is one of the first accessories I usually do with new tires.
So.

To SLIME or NOT TO SLIME?
Let me know what you think about slime.

Thank Zonie for saying something about Slime in another post. Got me thinking it would make a good topic.

actually slime is not that good it breaks down after 2- 3 years and loses its sealing ability it doesnt seal side wall punctures hardly at all the best tire sealant on the market is the stuff highlifter sells called pro tire sealer used to be called airlock it will seal a hole as big as your pointer finger in the tread area and a 1/4 in hole in the sidewall and it will seal it for the life of the tire and never corrode your rims i have it in all my mowers and atvs and i never have to add air to the tires they are sealed up tight it only cost a few bucks more than slime and it works perfect

I use slime only when I get a flat. I have never tried the stuff from HL but I'm sure it will work the same.

I have looked at high lifter stuff. I figured it was all the same.
Ya. I want to be able to put it in and it last for years. I really do not want to have to think about it until I see the nail in the tire and say, wow, how long has that been there. Lol

the highlifter sealant is made by multi-seal and can be bought for less money under that name

Any better products over the past few years that may compare to Slime?

Will be adding some soon to these brand new tire/wheels with 260 miles on them.

Thanks.

I had a pinch the first weekend out on my new 30s at mulberry....next weekend i put Quadboss tire sealant in all of them. No flats since...good stuff..a little pricy. It takes 48oz per tire for 30s. I bought the gallon jug with pump but suggest buying the seperate bottles. Pump doesn't work that well and you cant get all of it out.

Been thinking of adding slime or something else to mine lately. I've got 2 Terrabites that I need to add air once a week. Look forward to suggestions.

I use this stuff. It works. Half a bottle per tire, no flats since and it sealed up my bead leaks

I have heard that if you add a tire sealant the tire can not be repaired.

With Kevlas you say?
Maybe that will do good with those 3 flat kevlar terribate tires.

Another good suggestion Toddy!! After Takeover I have a very slow bead leak.. guess I’ll try this out too. It’s just going to be an ongoing bead battle if not.

The LT's have done me well 2 years added air once in spring.
