Which do you use to fix a flat? I got pretty nasty thorn in my tire and have never used the slime before. And am not sure if the plug would get pulled out by rocks and such.

 

If it were me i would plug the hole then get enough Slime or sealant like it(not fix a flat)to put in all the tires i do this and i dont have trouble with flats.The sealant really works.

 

I used Slim in my dirtbike tire and it didn't prevent any flats i think that slime is just a big scam, i dont' not agree with the previos reply i say to use fix a flat it works the best.....

 

Slime doesn't work very well in tube-type tires, which is probably why it didn't do too good in your dirtbike. Also, it is at it's best holding low pressures (under 20 psi or so).
That said, I would plug the hole you know is there, and then add slime. It may not seal all your leaks 100%, but it always got me home, turned a flat into just a 'slow leaker' & whatever the slime doesn't patch, I put a plug into. I currently have about 6 or 8 plugs in one rear tire, and never had to walk home because of a flat yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I work in a wheel and tire factory and the sealnt we use in top of the line lawn and garden equipment is simalry to slime.I have used both and have no complaints.As for fix a flat it will corrode your rims.But lke farmer i havent had to walk in.

 

Fix a flat will also dissolve the glue on a patch or plug inside the tire. Its good in a pinch but needs to be washed out after you get back home. Stick with the slime.

 

how much do i need to put in a tire, i was reading a bottle, it said 16 ounches approx. per each ATV tire, and one 16 oz bottle of that costs 8$ ! lol. is this true?

 

I found slime at my local Walmart store for I believe $14 or $15. This was for 2 32oz. bottles. At 16oz. per tire this would do all 4 tires. I don't remember the brand name. It was in the sporting goods department along with some other ATV stuff.

 

thats a good deal, ill check out the mart of Wal today

 

Any problem with slime in the cold of winter ???? I live in NE PA and it seems that slim would freeze???
