Tire sealant stuff.....

[whoDEANie]

I've used it but better off just taking it in. I think the best use for the stuff is in quad tires that have slow leaks. I have a slow leak because of a nail in my tire. Need to get it fixed. Found it Saturday. Didn't have time to take it in before leaving town.

That's actually the main reason I suggested getting it fixed. If there's a nail or screw in there, it could potentially cause a sudden loss of pressure. I took my time about fixing a tire a while ago and the tire blew while I was corning. ...cost me two tires and two rims when I spun out and hit a curb sideways.

the Slime brand sealant does not harden inside a tire or make repairing a tire impossible. it is water soluble and washes out easily. slime remains fluid and actually helps to balance tires. it is unlikely to work on bead or stem leaks unless you remove the wheel and ensure complete coverage inside, it's more for tread punctures. I've been using it for years with no issues.

The green slime is the worse for tring to buff a patch in after, yes its still liquid, but the tire has to be dry and clean inside

And if it takes a tire shop a hour to clean up the inside to patch it, mine as well look for new tire lmao

Yes its good to have for emergency to get you to a place to fix

it doesn't take an hour to clean it, you can wipe it clean with a wet rag. as soon as you hit it with the buffer it's bare and dry rubber. I've stood there and watched them do it, to see for myself what slime is like inside a tire after it's been there for months.

look for a new tire? do you wake up stupid or does it take a while to come on?

Im just curious,but who pays for leak repair anymore.I don't think any tire store in edmonton charges for that.

So, I personally have tried ( ran a tire shop and worked there for 12 years) to fix a few different types of tires with the green slime...... It has to be clean and dry, water-slime ect can not drip or run down onto buffed area with glue drying, plus install of over buff sealant onto patch and small area around helps seal cords for a long time repair, not a shotty temporary repair...


The can of fix a flat that smells like piss and fills up the tire, is way easier to clean and do the job properly, which = a job done right and not the crap job u supposed to have watched, which by the way tells me about the shop that did the work, having client watch

,and if the tire is half worn out and u spend 100 on a flat, does that make sense, mabe for you

you know slime and fix a flat are 2 different things, right? one wipe with the rag and the slime isn't dripping or running down onto anything. if you put your patches on with the repaired spot at the bottom of the tire while it's on the stand then you are as dumb as you come across with your posts.

I go and hang out in the shop every time I go there for a tire repair, on my personal vehicles or any of the 200+ tires in my fleet of trucks and trailers. I know the management, and every worker by name.

you know absolutely nothing about the tire shop here. you're a blowhard and prove it on this site daily.

B.s, the green slime is like molasses, thick and stuck to every part



Mabe the stuff u used and the stuff I have seen-had issues with at least 6 times, might be different eh....

It's every where, side walls, rim u name it, just doesn't wipe off with a rag


Yes the can of puncture flat ( piss smell stuff that fills tire ) just for the most part wipes up, and is way easier

And the thousands of flats I have fixed, compared to the fleet you look after, might give me more experience than you

I've stood and watched tire guys with years of experience repair tires and still have to correct them on procedure because they are lazy fawks that will try to get away with whatever they can. like not cleaning threads...or not cleaning mating surfaces...or over torquing...I love the excuse "oh the gun is set to proper torque" after the torque wrench clicks immediately without the nut turning. back them all off, and do it again genius. that's why you lazy pr!cks don't want anyone watching

I will never, ever use torque sticks, cause if the impact can't put the power out it will false stop early

Only torque by hand for this guy



And yes, I'll agree there is lots of tire shops that half azz everything, mostly because they are never taught right from the start

Back to original question. I have used it but only on farm Quads/Gator, tired of them always having slow leaks and for the most part works pretty well. One tire would never seal so I took it off and the bead was the issue, cleaned it up and it stopped leaking. Before I put it back on I washed the inside out, was surprised though how easy the slime was to clean out of the tire.
Personally I wouldn't use on my vehicles.

As far as tire balance goes , the slime is brutal ... Even though it is liquid , it should only be a stop gap measure .
It will throw your tire do far out of balance .. It's crazy .
Really hard on wheel bearings and tie rod ends .
IMO

I run slime in the raceline tires on my commander, there isn't a hint of wobble flat out on pavement at 70 mph.

dynamic balance?
