I have also put the stuff into my tires, only the front though, seems to me the most likely location for a puncture would be in the front, I have ridden mountain bikes for years and years with the same stuff in them and never had a flat
No question the stuff works on bikes, I'm sure it will work just as well on my prarie 300 4x4

Never used the brand name, but have experience with the Berrymans similar product. TSC sells it for around $17.00 a Gallon (enough to do four tires and possibly have some left over).

I will say this, if you get any out of the tire, whew, does it stink! But if you are careful in the filling it's not a problem.

I'd suggest the use of this type of product in not just ATV's but lawn and garden tractors and similar equipment.

Greetings,

I bought some because I had a slow leak in a tire, but it turned out to be a stick in it which needed to be plugged so I didn't bother. And one reason I didn't go through with it was a discussion in here a while back about how it can cause rust or corrosion on certain types of wheels. Will admit to having no firm knowledge of this, but I bring it up so someone else might comment.

Oh yeah, one other thing -- we all carry a can of Fix-a-Flat when we go out on the trail. Its not the ideal solution, but it can be very handy to help get back home.

If you use slime remove your tires at least once a year. If your wheels seats for too long it will eat your aluminum wheels

If you don't want it to vibrate, you've got to drive on it for a while to evenly spread it in the tire!!!

Calds650, that's a good idea if you are the authority on this matter. I have "SLIME" in all four tires and there's nothing on the container that says, "CORROSIVE TO ALUMINUM". But thanks...
These bottles of ugly green stuff comes in 16 oz. bottles. So how the heck are you guys getting them in 8 and 9 oz. bottles? I'm sure there are other sizes but usually larger than the standard 16 oz. bottles. Anyway, the instructions say, one bottle per tire for my wheel sizes which are 8 and 10 inch. But I certainly can't tell the stuff is in there when the wheels are rolling. If you guys have knobby tires, I can't see how you can tell either. Short of having a professional balance job completed. Just wondering, what's good information in this post...
