I use slime all the time. From ATVs to ZTR's it works great! Never had a issue with balance at high speeds on the atvs.

Any place I ride where I,m going 45mph or up is a faily good gravel road where a flat is unlikely, The slow going rough trails are my concern, should I just put in the lesser amount? or does it matter?

you have to use a think 32 0z in a low air pressure tire. i have had mix results working good in a cut, but not in a slow bead leak.

Mine wouldn't seal a cut I had, but after I put a couple of plugs in it, never had a problem with it again. Between the two, it closed it off very nicely.

That HL tire sealant is the way to go. I intended to get 4 bottles when I put my new Zillas on but shipping to Canada as always is so overpriced.
Next time I order some things to my states side mailbox i think i might order some.
Although in New Brunswick there isnt much rock in the places I ride and have never been worried about a flat. That being said, all it would take is once and that stuff would pay for itself in lost riding time and frustration.

Same here. Use SLIME all the time, I carry it with a plug kit for trail riding and to get me back to the trailer where I have an extra set of tires for the ATV.
