so i have my new 285/75/16 terra grapplers on and i was going over the mountain bike when i looked over and thought hmmmmmmmm would SLime ( or whatever brand ) be something i should use on the truck tires??? i mean they are expensive and an help on the road/trail would help but would they trought the balance out like fix o flat would i have it in the mountain bike tires but thats kind different lol cant really tell if they arent balanced and such also i havent had a flat wait maybe i have and the slime worked like it supposed to and i didnt know it anyway anyone who knows more about the subject then i do please chime in ! thanks!

 

I put it in on my old set of tires and it wobbled like crazy for months. I put in exactly the amount specified by Slime, too. Drove me nuts. Not recommended for street use in my opinion.

 

I'd say no Slime.

I have heard it's pretty hard on aluminum and steel rims.

Plus, it barely work on thorn holes with bicycle tubes... can't imagine it would work all that well on tires.

 

i wouldnt. stopleak eats your tires plus eats away your rim - kinda like how road salt eats your frame... just not as fast. i think slime does the same thing.

 

I don't think a rough trail would be stopped by Slime, and use sentences your post sounded like gibberish

 

Ditto....I couldn't read most of that. I think the best thing for the trail is to have some plugs and an air source available.

 

We need a grammar and spell check on yotatech.

 

DOnt do it.

 

NO...won't work on a bike...definitely NOT on a car...lol

 

^what he said^

 

Word of advice, never, ever plug the sidewall or close to the edge of a tire if you can help it. If your on the trail and its a quick fix thats ok, nut driving on the road with that kinda plug is a bad idea-could cause a blow out.

 

nooooooo dont do it carry a spare

 

so... NO SLIME it is thanks guys. as for grammar. bite me!
lol I have seen some absoulty horrible spelling and grammar on here i just dont use puncation. i think fastest then i type. OSURUNNER you dont get to have a say until you learn A) to keep your word. B) be respectful of others
YES i still remember the rims!

 

It's only recommended for emergency use. i have used it on my trailer and it is just fine. But i would never use it for a permanent fix.

 

words of advise:
i used to bust tires for goodyear tires and if you use any kind of sealant or fix a flat, TELL THE PERSON WHO IS FIXING IT!!! nothing would piss us off more then some jerk who wouldnt tell us that it was in there so when we would pull the valve core or brake the bead loose it would spray all over the place. when that would happen (because we would then have to clean it up) it would be eye for an eye. so either the tire wouldnt get balanced right or we would put a loose wheel weight inside the tire, tell then it was too close to the side wall even if it wasnt, or anything else we could think of at the time.
so please be nice to your tire guy, the job sucks enough anyway.

 

I HATE THAT. Seriously, that stuff rarely works. Its just a nuisance and I always tell the person after I fixed the flat for them to not use any of that crap again. Waste of money.

 

Yotatech does have spell-check. That's all I can contribute, since the original question has been sufficiently answered. Cheers!

 

X3!!! i don't know which part was worse.... that you have white creamy stuff splattered all over your clothes.... or the smell so bad it will make you vomit.

Slime has saved my tractor and zero-turn mower from thorns. Before I got a tractor I was mowing areas even a large zero-turn should be used for. I had to air up the tires daily due to all the thorns, tiny to large, and Slime ended that. I also used it in a utility cart's tires that wouldn't hold air for a day and han't had a problem since. I found this thread seaching on street tire use of Slime. I am tempted to use a small dose of it in my take home car from work. It only has a donut spare and doesn't have tire perssure monitors to worry about in the rims.

 

Thanks! you guys saved me from making a serous mistake and blowing $50.00 bucks on Slime.
