I use it in all my tires. Punctures seal as I'm racing, so I don't have to worry about DNF because of a flat. But just like bradr6 said, at top speed the liquid does have a tendency of causing the tire to become slightly off balanced and cause a vibration. Nothing too severe..but still noticable. I can deal with a little vibration for peace of mind....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Bonehead2,

Be sure and look at the directions for the amount of slime to put in each tire. Right off hand I can't remember the amounts, but the stuff has worked for me and I have even put it in my lawn equipment.

Being a Sears service manager I keep a 55 gallon drum of it at hand at all times. I put it in almost everything and it has proved itself out in the mountains more than once. If the speed is low, put as much as you want in there. That could be easier for me,though, considering I dont pay for it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I keep it long enough to where I don't get slimed. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Slime has been a lifesaver as far as mowing is concerned. Thornie bushes, I hit them now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Thanks everyone - Directions are on the bottle - 12 - 16 oz in each ATV tire. Gotta get another bottle this weekend and all four tires will be filled by Monday. Thanks again for your assistance and comments.
