Default tire sealant

[img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]Is one tire sealant better than another? Are there pros cons on using it besides not getting a flat.

I would not use that stuff unless I had to. Maybe to get my vhec home, then dismount the tire and clean it out. It makes a real mess and can rust steel rims. It also may not last forever. I do use it in my riding mower - lots of thorns around here, but tires and wheels ar cheep for it and if it breaks I'm not 25 miles out in the woods.

I tried Slime, and found it to be useless. It quickly dried up and left a crust inside the tire.

On the other hand, I have run Fix-a-Flat for years in all my tires (all the time), and have never had a flat of any kind!

I put slime in all 4 tires 3 years ago and have never had any problem at all. Follow directions and you should be fine.
