Will the tube Slime work for a tubeless tire also?
1979130
After extensive testing at my company, I determined that although slime worked slightly better for tubeless tires than for tubed tires. I also found that Slime was ineffective for any leak unless it was extremely tiny. Such leaks would take many hours or even days to lower the tire pressure even without Slime. The real drawback to Slime that if a tire does get low on pressure, there is a much greater danger of the tire coming off the rim when Slime is present. Because Slime is so slippery, the tire bead no longer has enough friction to stay attached to the rim. I have determined that Slime is too dangerous to use on any vehicle. This is especially true for motorcycles. After extensive testing at my company, I determined that although slime worked slightly better for tubeless tires than for tubed tires.

Yes. I used it in my tubeless wheelbarrow tire two years ago and it worked great. Recently it started leaking air again. I added more Slime and the tire is holding air again.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask this question of. I have used this product just once. It was several years ago; and I probably messed up somehow because it didn't work very well. Most of the other people who have reviewed this product have just raved about the results. My experience; not so much.

You can use the compressor as many times as you like for adding air to any tire. The slime cartridge is good for one tire repair only. The whole can goes into the tire. You can buy replacement cartridges which have a suggested retail value around $15 but can be had online for about 8 bucks plus shipping. The repair is considered temporary and the manufacturer recommends having flats repaired with slime professionally repaired at your earliest possible convenience. The idea behind this kit is to get you back on the road and home quickly and safely if you have a flat in a car that does not have a spare.

I cannot say it even works with motorcycles as fortunately, I have not needed to use it. I would, of course, be using it on a tubeless tire. Would you?

I've used slime tubes for months after the first puncture. In fact, my kids bikes (24" mtn bikes) have had more punctures than I could count before having to replace the tube. The key is to always have an extra tube with you so you don't get stuck.

Yes... that's exactly what you need. I would fill it with the green slime and then install. That'll make it puncture proof...

I live in the desert southwest and after our first use of the cart all 4 tires had about dozen goatheads each in them and all were flat within a day or so.Patching the tubes was ineffective; I couldn't get my patch kit's rubber cement to bond to the tubes, which seemed more plastic than rubber. It was also difficult to deal with getting the tube out of the tire because of it's relatively small inner diameter. Slime sealant appears to have done the trick, though. I put 4oz in each of the 4 tires and they've held air for a few days.EDIT: 2+ months later and haven't had to add any air. All hail Slime!

Yes, it will fit. I'm using it in a 15 x 5 - 6 tubless tire. Just don't over-inflate!

I'm no expert but, I would not recommend this for any kind of tire application. This is a rubbery/glue like sealant with mediocre adhesion qualities.

Tubeless ready, not specific. I run mine tubeless and they work awesome! been riding these as my front tire for 2 seasons. Work great in loose sandy, hard pack, rocky, rooty, wet and dry.

I bought the Slime tubes. Prefilled tubes .!! Self sealing.!! Another option is the dense rubber tubes that are available. They would be perfect for off road or any terrain..

No the Carlisle Turf Saver is a tubeless tire. I had to clean my rims well to insure a good seal to the tire and install a new value stem. Of course you could install tubes if your rims are not made for tubeless tires. They are performing very well on a Craftsmans two wheel trailer that I have used for about 20 years. Hope this helps

Yes you can. I mounted this tire tubeless with the Stan's no Tube kit and after a year in the trails, everything is ok.

First, the question I have is what type of tire are you using it on? I would not use it on any automotive tire! Lawn equipment, dollies,etc have been the type of equipment I have used slime on and found if treated properly according to directions results have been excellent. For reasons of safety I would never use it on high speed equipment. Tires on cars & trucks need to be kept in balance or you will cause wear and on the tire and possibly wear to bearings and other components. I would never use it on car and truck tires as it may settle inside the tire unevenly and cause out of balance conditions.

I think it's for tubeless, but not happy with the one I bought. The only time I needed it, it leaked from the connection at the can and most of it ended up all over the pavement. I emailed the company but got no response. Good luck!

It depends upon the type of leakage. If you have mild bead leakage or a basic nail or thorn puncture, then it will probably work fine. If you have a chronic leak, old tubeless tires with cracks in the sidewalls or leaking tubes, not likely. Don't forget to make sure (with soapy water) that your valve stem core valve isn't leaking.

Yes you can, all this is a regular size tube with the slime inside that when thorns goes gets in, a small amount of the slime will plug the hole when the thorn is taking out or breaks. It can be used with any rim and tires AS LONG AS YOU ORDER THE RIGHT SIZE.

Yes, this is a tubeless tire. I use them on my snowblower and they're great.
