Default Air Leak

I too have a leak in the front tire of my KingQuad. It took me almost an hour to find it. Also on the bead and very slow. Goes flat over a week of sitting. In my case it's dirt jammed betwix the bead and tire (brand new quad and aluminum wheels). Not sure if it's worth taking the tire off to clean though. Let us know if the Slime works. I'm curious...

well speaking from 5 time use experence w/ slime its a great product. and yes i have used it to fix a bead leak as well as 2 side wall leaks w/ the aide of a tire plug(both are big cuts). so it may not be designed for it but it sure works good for us.

Good deal. I suppose the $8 for Slime is cheaper than the 1+ hours I'd spend doing all that bead breaking, etc. Thanks.
