Default tire slime?

I have the same problem now with the shaking. It says to rotate the tires to even the slime .I did that but it still shakes. Other then that it works great.

Air Lock from Highlifter is the stuff you want. It seals up to 1/2" and will probably go to about 5/8". I saw this stuff demo'd on Fisher's Atv World and the guy drove a HUGE spike into the tire almost 5/8" wide and when he took it out, the tire sealed in about 1 second. The label says it will not rust or corrode wheels, good for the life of the tire, and will not harden or freeze above -33 degrees.

Needless to say, I bought 4 bottles. They recommend one 32 oz bottle per tire, and sell 4 bottles for $60.

Well for me it is at high speeds. I was on a paved road. On dirt I didn't notice.

My Jeep tire started shaking real bad at speeds of around 55-60 mph, so I had to dismount the tire and get the rest of it out.

The time I tried 12oz. per tire I could'nt hang on to it above 40mph. The next time I tried having the local tire shop put in their pink stuff and they put in 1 pump. The guy that did it used it in his banshee and said he never had problems. Well, it shook less but it still shook. It seemed the less I put in, the better it got but it never quit entirely. The plugs are ugly, but there are thorns where I ride and I gotta stop the leaks somehow. I guess if I were filling a bunch of screw holes I might not use plugs. Just buy another set of tires and rims and keep screws in one set if that is an option.
