Default Slime----Tire Slime, worth it?

That stuff that you put in your tires to seal punctures.....is it worthwhile or just another something to suck the money out of my wallet?

This stuff

I think it's 1 16oz bottle per tire

I put it in all of my trail bike tires. It is great stuff and will be worth the money. It wont rust the wheels and is water soluable. I sell it at work. Put a 32oz bottle in each tire and you wont ever have a flat problem unless you puncture the sidewall or a BIG hole in the tread.

Ive had a slow leak in my front tire. I put Slime in all my tires and it hasn't leaked yet. Great stuff and well worth it.

Like bubba said, unless its in the sidewall or a really big hole it
works great. About two years ago when I upgraded to ITP
wheels and holeshot tires, I had one rear tire that had a slow
leak. Well I would plud the leak and still have a slow leak. Well
after 4 plugged holes and I still had a slow leak, I submerged the
entire tire in a soap salution and I found that I had 18 small pin
holes all over the tire. So instead sending the tire back to the
manufacturer I used slime and it really works it sealed all the holes.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] Thanks for the input....I'm concerned because I only have 2ply tires for now....they're too new and I'm too cheap to buy better tires right now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Actually the Titan 489A/T's are a 4-ply. They will take a pretty good amount of abuse, until you slice the sidewall[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]. You can see the big ole gash under damage in my pictures
