does slime really work to seal holes???

I'm getting new tires and am wondering if it's worth putting in.


thanks

Raul, as you know, Slime is a preventative product like tooth paste. One doesn't use tooth paste after he has cavities, but before. I put a gallon of sealant (don't recall which one) in the tires on my King Quad when I bought it new & ran it all over Az in search & rescue operations over cactus, rocks, broken logs, sharp glass, you name it, & wore out the tires without ever having a flat.
I guess it's like the tooth paste thing..who knows if it works? I do know that when I replaced those tires there were all sorts of little objects sticking thru inside the tires.If you do use it be sure to use a quart per tire & operate the bike at a moderate speed for about a mile to circulate the sealant immediately after adding it.

The stuff works great. I let the tire sit w/ the hole pointing up & the tire went flat because no Slime could get to it. So I pumped it back up & pointed the hole down, I could hear the slime gurgling in the hole & the next day, presto, the hole was filled. That was a year ago & it hasn't gone flat since.

thanks for the replies guys!

I'll definitely put it in when I install the tires. Its nice to see a miracle product out there that actaully works.

i just put some slime in a garden tailer that had holes in the tires and had been sitting on the ground for two years and had dry rot cracks also, guess what no more leaks, this stuff really works!!!!

 

Where do you get slime in bulk containers?
Thanks

 

NAPA sells a product called "Flat-Proof" in gallon size bottles. Same liquid goop. Worked for me!!
