P500 How Much Slime?

[FuzzyGrub]

I have a gallon on the way. I have used it in my lawn mower, but it will be a first for my UTV. I have a very slow leak in one rear tire, but with multi-floral rose, thorn apple, and locust trees around, figured all 4 tires could use some. The formula on my empty slime bottle says: H X W X 0.12oz = Slime Ounces

Rears: 26 X 12 X 0.12 = 37oz
Front: 26 X 9 X 0.12 = 28oz

So the gallon will be just a couple of oz short for doing all four tires. Do you guys generally, overdo it, under do it, or follow the formula?

I see there is a 45mph warning, so P500 should be good. Never came close with lawnmower.

I just pump it in. lol.
Think last time I marked it off by 5th's. pumped 1/5 of the gallon into each tire and saved the last 5th for backup.

No. It works as advertised I'm told but it's a mess when you have to change your tires... shops hate it

DO not use slime in aluminum wheels it will pit aluminum.

The only thing that slime ever did for me was show me where the hole was in my tire with green bubbles, rather than stop the leak. Maybe that's not fair, it probably worked a few times and I never knew it. But if you're not riding through cactus I would skip it. Your tire guy will thank you. @Simpleman you need to weight in here!
