aluminum rims

Aha sounds great thanks.  I will order some.

That fix-a-flat crap is way worse  Rebs, I got a buddy that does tires and he hates that stuff cause it basically glues the tire to the rim.

WHOOPS!! THAT's what I was thinking about; NOT Green Slime. Thanky!  I made a boobski. Must be too early. LPS, go buy three cans.

I put a plug in a tire on my truck.  It must be leaking a little cuz once a month I have to give it about 5 lbs of air.  Would you put slime in that or take it off and put a patch inside it?  And once slime is in can you use an air gauge without getting slime in the gauge?  And can you put a patch inside a tire once it has been slimed?

Not sure about a truck tire, I've never put it in something high speed. You would have to check the package. I myself would get it patched.

I'm thinking maybe that stuff would knock a tire out of balance....look what a 1/2 oz wheel weight will do...

[LPS]

Two good points.  I will get it patched and just use the slime for the toys...

[HD]

Maybe Rebs, I know it stays liquid...so it might balance as you drive. But, I don't know about high speed.

I've heard that story about taking a tire off the rim after it's been slimed too. Don't think I would trust a tire doing 60-70 + mph as much as 1 that had been patched either.

Does it freeze? What about -10? A big lump of ice in yer tire, or no?  Hmmmm...

[Rebel SS]

I went to the slime "question" site", and found this...looks like I'd get it patched, remounted, and re-balanced. (car)


Will SLiME affect wheel balance?

Adding SLiME to high speed tires - especially front tires - could result in vibration. In high speed applications, we recommend using SLiME as a  temporary repair only.  Installing sealant in rear tires alone does not, normally, affect balance.

Never had it freeze on me, my wheelers are stored out in the barn. ...gets pretty cold out there.

I don't think I'd worry about using it in atv tires, just cars/trucks.

I had a problem tire on the go Kart the kids had and the slime worked great. I've had to bring my pickup in twice for a new bead seal Cuz of corrosion . But ya i would stick to small tires for slime.

Smurfy said it worked OK on his ATV, boober....
