Tire Sealant Question

[Gunner0311]

I see several companies are advertising sealant for "Tubed Tires". SLIME, etc...

Has anyone tried any of this stuff in 1100x20 or larger tubed tires and any
feedback on how well it works against road hazard punctures?

It would be worth the money to me to have some "insurance" against punctures.

NO DON'T DO IT. i thought the same thing so i put green slime in all 4 tires of my ford ranger. after a while it felt like i had a tire out of ballance. then it felt like i had 4 tires out of ballance. then it felt like my ranger had the death wabble. i had to have all of my tire pulled from the rims and cleaned out. some of these products may work better, i think if it is more liquid the slime. as an emergency road side repair i would say keep it handy but not as a preventative measure. i was planning on doing that when i install my 11.00x20s on my M109a3 until the ranger incedent.

I use slime in all of my dirt bike tires and it works great for that. Cannot comment on freeway speeds though.

I wouldn't use it unless you had to.

Check out the web site for Multi Seal. I use it in all my MV stuff.
