Product Description |
|
Slime Tubeless Tire Sealant prevents and repairs flats in tubeless tires caused by punctures up to a quarter-inch. Non-flammable, non-toxic and non-aerosol, this sealant installs easily through the valve, and for bikes, between the rim and the tire bead. Slime works repeatedly -- when a puncture occurs, the escaping air forces Slime with FibroSeal technology in the puncture wound to seal the puncture. This product is virtually mess-free, cleans up with water, and lasts for up to two years.

 Saved me over $200 in tire-remounting costs! |
| Review Date: January 3, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Bubble Buddy, Naperville, IL USA |
It was getting to the point that I was filling my tires 2 to 3 times a week. I took the worst of the tires and soaped it up. The leaking was coming from around the bang-on rim weight. I called up my local tire repair shop and they wanted $25+ to dismount, clean and remount the tire to fix the rim-leak. Since all four tires were leaking, it would cost me over $100 (with tax, etc.) to have all tires done. Then, I remembered Slime, and asked a guy at the auto parts store if it worked. He said that his tires were leaking like a sieve all around the side-walls, which Slime fixed. IMPORTANT: He said NOT to follow the instructions on the bottle and, instead, put in 8oz per tire for 24 in. tires. That is roughly 60% more than recommended according to the instructions on the bottle.
I was able to buy a 32oz bottle for around $9.00 where I live. When I got home, I got a ruler, placed the bottle upright on a flat surface and measured the amount of liquid in the bottle. I made 4 marks on the side of the bottle with an indelible marker -- dividing the contents into 4 parts (if the label goes all the way around the bottle with no gap, you will have to peel some of the label off so you can mark the bottle directly and see the remaining level of fluid inside as you squeeze the contents into each tire). I then took out my hydraulic jack; jacked up one side of the car in order to relieve the weight on the tires when deflated, then removed the valve from the stems in the two tires on that side. After all air was out of the tires, I squeezed in 1/4 (8oz) of the bottle into each tire, screwed the valve back into the stems, re-inflated the tires and dropped the car back onto the garage floor. I repeated this procedure with the other side of the car. All-in-all, it didn't take me more than 30 minutes to deflate all four tires, squeeze the slime in and re-fill them with air.
I then took the car out for a drive -- to work the Slime into all the crevices of the tire and rim. There was an immediate difference; and, within a few days of driving (because it takes time to work the slime into all the nooks and crannies) there were no more severe leaks. It was the first time I was able to go for more than a week without having to fill my tires. After 3-4 weeks, the tires are holding air and I don't even have to top them off anymore.
Interestingly, just last week before Christmas, I noticed that one of the tires on my wife's car was flat. Luckily, I noticed it while it was still sitting in the garage. I filled it up with air, and it was flat the next morning. I filled it up again, and it was flat that evening (it was getting worse real fast). I took the tire off and soaped it up like I did on my car. Wow! There were leaks all around both the inside and outside rim (must be all the salt and below-zero weather). So, like I did to my car, I slimed it and filled it up with air. I drove it around for about 10 minutes and parked it. A few days later, it still read the same pressure as I put in it a few days earlier after I slimed it. A few days later, I did the other three tires.
As I figure it, I saved over $200 in rim-cleaning & remounting costs for 8-tires with two $9.00 32oz bottles of Slime.
Also, be aware, that since there is so much slime in the tires (way more than the directions say to use, as explained above following the instructions from the auto-parts guy), at speeds over 35-40 mph, the tires will be a bit unbalanced for about a mile until the slime evens out from centrifugal force -- something that I have no problem living with, since it saved me over $200. After about a mile, everything smoothes out and the wheels automatically fall back into balance (kind of like those centrifugal balancing weights used on 18-wheelers). I have driven at speeds up to 65 mph for long durations with no noticeable shimmy or bounce after the slime re-balances itself inside the tires.

| Friday after work walked out to see the rear tire flat (roofing nail got me), pulled the nail out, squeezed in some slime and inflated the tire with the little pump unit. 15 minutes from start to finish and I was on my way (3400 miles later and I still haven't had a leak). |

| I had a slow leak in my tire loosing about 10PSI a day I tried this stuff works great its very easy to use and not messy at all just follow the directions. Tip try only using half the amount the bottle says to use it will make the tire unbalanced and give you a slight wobble but after a certiant speed it goes away. |
i read both reviews and then ordered VERY HAPPY READ

I had a slow leak like the other reviewer, and after reading their review i was skeptical if it would fix my tire..
the leak was right by the bead of the tire on the inside.
I got this slime, put it in the tie, re-inflated it..and presto, im very happy to say my tire is find and that i am no longer going ot hav eto replace it. It saved me a ton of money..
i use this product in my mountain bike tires and they do not leak air like regular innertubes...
matter of fact. Right now my mountain bike has one tire with slime and the other without. It has been about 6 months since i touched the bike, and the tire with the slime is perfectly rideable STILL..the one without the slime needs about 30PSI..
this stuff (so far in my expeciernce) does what it says!

| I bought Slime a long time ago and forgot I had it until I had a totally flat tire, and a meeting I didn't want to miss. I found a nail stuck in my truck tire and removed it. Then I noticed that Slime recommended a 16 oz dose of Slime for a car tire, but I only had an 8 oz bottle, which I used anyway. I removed the valve stem with the cleverly designed valve stem remover, and connected the hose attachment that comes with the bottle, and squeezed. I used my pocket knife to make a hole in the bottom of the bottle to help squeeze all the formula into the tire. I replaced the valve and filled the tire with air 5 days ago and it's still inflated. I don't know what "dungeonrat" did to rate this product so low, but I'm buying more. This stuff works great!!! |
Flawless and Easy

I purchased slime several years ago to fix a leak in my car tire. The tires never leaked again for the 4-5 years we had the car.
I'm about to get another bottle as a leak has surfaced in a different car. This stuff is amazing. I have no doubt it will work perfectly again.
At this time there is one bad review for this product. Ignore it. The reviewer did not leave enough information to judge whether they used the product correctly or even were using the right product for the right job. Slime should have a solid 5 star rating. |
Worth every penny!

| I have a tire with a nail in it and a decent amount of tread on it that would go flat every night, and sometimes during the day. I was filling it back up every morning and sometimes at lunch. I put slime in Friday afternoon and have not turned on my air compressor yet. I checked the pressure on the tire late yesterday and it had not lost a pound. This stuff just works. For a little under ten dollars i saved my self from spending $60+ on a new tire. Thanks Slime! |
