Yes, I have it in my atv tires. It says to use a whole bottle per tire, but I used 1 bottle for two 27" tires. You put it in and drive it around a while and it seals everything up. It stopped my slow leaks on my gators.

I wouldn't go anywhere without it. I have used the HD slime (black rubber chunks in it) for several years. I used to live in Nebraska and Utah where there is a ton of cactus. Never have any flats with slime. You are supposed to take width X height X .12 to determine the number of ounces to use. Walmart has gallons with a pump for $28.??. A gallon should do most atvs with some left over. I've used other brands but have settled on HD slime.

I bought my kingquad used and they had slime in the back tires. When I took the old back tires off of the rim the slime was just that slime it was very nasty and after seeing what it looks like inside of a tire and it didn't help that tire because it was still going flat very fast so I would not recommend slime or anything like it. I would just make sure the tires are aired up before you leave camp. You can buy many types of air compressors actually you can even buy a 12V air compressor that will plug in your 12V plug on your atv and air your tire up while on the trail. That's just my opinion on this. But after I bought my ITP mudlites I didn't have a problem with flats.

I have slime in my tires as well. Living in wyoming you wont get home without it due to the cactus here. It works well, just a little messy if you change the tires and such. They will still go flat if you stick something big in your tire, but for cactus, thorns, ect.. it works well.

You can rinse it off with a garden hose. They are all messy when you change tires, but beats flat tires.
