Hey guys I have a pesky slow leak on my rear passenger tire. The tires are only 10,000 miles old. I was thinking of hitting that tire with some slim in an effort to curtail the leak. Thoughts?

 

I used that stuff when I built ice racing tires for my old BMW. It worked great to plug some pretty major leaks.

If you're anywhere near me you can use mine. I have half a gallon left.

 

I have never used SLiME Tire Sealant...but I do use the SLiME Tube Sealant on my cruiser bicycle tires on each new tube install as preventative maintenance and have used it on the trails a few times after running over thorns and what not with great success.

I have the new SLiME patches, but have not had a need to use one yet.

Great product IMO.

 

Good to hear! Thanks for the offer but i am in SW Wisconsin unfortunately!

 

While the product does work. I guess i would ask if you know you have a slow leak why don't you go to a shop and get it fixed or buy a kit and fix it yourself, instead of using what is actually not a "fix" but in reality a "temporary fix" to get you out of somewhere so you can get it fixed. Just my opinion...

 

Slime, inflatable kiddies pool and bikini clad women.... er wait, yer talking about the tire stuff.

 

Slime can throw the tire out of balance. If you do a lot of high speed driving you could feel it. It will eventually dry out and turn itself into a ball and roll around inside the tire for the rest of the tires life. I would remove the wheel from the car and submerge the whole thing in a tub of water to find the leak. You can also air the tire up to 50psi to help find it faster, the higher pressure will make the air come out the leak faster. Then have it repaired correctly by having the tire removed from the wheel and a patch glued to the inside of the tire.
I used to work in a tire store and wouldn't reccomment Slime for anything you drive on the freeway.

 

Would you trust it on a condum? If not don't use it on tire at 70 MPH. Get it fixed right.
