i spoke with a local dealer that said a plug won't work after you use tire slime to plug a puncture. is there any truth to this? he said that the plug wouldn't stay in.

 

Hi I have used fix a flat before and then used plugs. In fact the fix a flat actually helped secure the plug. With the slime I think as long as you reamed the hole really well the plug would hold no problem. I have not tried this but I do not see why it would not work.

 

That dealer wants to sell you a new tire! A plug or plugs will hold with sealant in the tire.Dont recomend "fix-a-flat" but Slime or its equivalant are great things.

 

We plugged a tire YESTERDAY with a Progressive Suspension kit. It had slime gurgling out of the hole. No problem!

Personally, I prefer fix-a-flat to slime. Hey, the Slime was gurgling out of the (small) hole. What does that tell you? I don't think the stuff works all that well.

 

thanks for the info everyone. i went ahead and picked up some slime. we'll see how it works this weekend.

 

I use slime

I use plugs

Slime takes care of the small punctures and the bead seat,,,,,,the plugs take care of the bigger stuff.

Never had a problem using both together.

 

I buy radial and thicker tires.
