If your tires are that bad where they are leaking and dry rotted, i would replace them. The owner before you put some in.

Just my 2 cents

Yep, previous owner put in Slime if it is a bright green. If not it's just mold...

The most common reason is to plug up a hole in the tire.

I put it in one of my quads that we ran areas with lots of thorns. Much easier to let slime take care of those tiny holes than have a flat or try to fix them all.

I run Slime in my tires as a matter of course....takes care of the small punctures that occur without any effort
