my experience with slime

[plott hound]

i had 4 tires on my conquest that would lose air overnight.everytime i went out icefishing i had to air up.was going to buy 8 new tires and rims so i can use my super tracks on my conquest,but figured i would try the slime first.now my rims are beat up pretty bad and 2 have been welded and repaired.i dismounted all 8 and cleaned the bead seating area then applied bead sealant but i still had leaks with the tracks.so i bought 2 bottles of slime and slimed the 4 leakers then went for a really long ride on the lake.inspected the leakers the next day and all had held air.on closer inspection i could see where the slime had bubbled out around the beads,i am totally impressed with this product.these tires will get me through the winter then i can get new ones for next year.

Slime has a weakness though, it is a water based product. If I use it, I use 50% slime and 50% antifreeze w/ the silver flake radiator stop leak added in.

Very interesting buggyman, does the SLIME freeze? Do you think the SLIME/antifreeze/stop leak blends together or would it stratify? I used this stuff on a quad tire and thought it was awesome...never thought of the potential freeze of the SLIME product though.

I'm sure the slime or water base in it freezes. I have used slime in my Kubota tractor tires and my 4 wheeler tires and have had no issues and we get -55F to -60F temps here in interior Alaska. I used my Kubota tractor all winter without my tires losing pressure except for a little bit of loss that the extreme cold caused. I also have slimed a couple of my 4 wheeler tires and they have never lost air through the past 2 years or so.
