What is the difference between all these different Slime kits? I have an x5 without run flats and no spare. Which one of these would you recommend?

I have not used it. It is a insurance thing. I hope I never use it, it was recommend by tire guy. V

70005 is practically identical to the BMW Mobility Kit found in some BMW's. It injects both the slime and air through the hose all in one step. 70004 requires you remove the valve stem core, inject the slime, and then inflate the tire. Note that the "heavy duty" compressor requires a 15A fuse on your cigarette lighter else you'll have to clip it directly to the battery. 40013 is pretty much the same as 70004, but with a smaller bottle of slim, a lower power compressor, and no plugs. Personally I have the 40013 and a plug set in my Z4, but thankfully I've never had to use it.

Buy the largest most expensive on made for pick ups. The compressor in the others is poor quality and you have large expensive tires to fill.

I have the new model with the suction feet. The bosch never moves, I love it. I only use whole wheat flour for my breads and cakes. I have a granite counter top. I don't know if this makes a difference, but the granite seems to be kind of a slick material. I've had a 650 watt kitchenaid...and the bosch is by far the best!!!! Will never go back. Julia

I'm not sure what the weight difference is but I would say that it's definitely an insignificant amount. As far as the goo or 'slime' spreading evenly; I can only say that since replacing our standard tubes ( 3 bikes, two Townies and a Miami Sun three wheeler) with the slime tubes we have had no flats in the last year. Also, I typically ride for at least an hour and have felt completely confident in my tires handling the ride each time.

I've never used it for slime.....might have to try that since I have a lot left.

The bottle of slime you are looking at should be enough for 15 to 20 bicycle tires, or 7 - 10 car tires. It really comes down to the size of your tires. I recommend starting with an ouns or two, then add some of need be. Slime pretty well. It helps to locate the leak, then make sure slime gets to that area (turn and tilt the wheel).

Hi Brian! I just bought myself the KickPed which has the same exact wheels as the Know-Ped (i.e. made by the same manufacturer "Go-Ped")... And yes, I have experienced very much the same as you just said... The fat rubber tires do make for a much slower ride... And much more effort is needed to kick scoot this baby... But, definitely alot of fun just the same! I too have been looking at the Xootr MG for more speed/distance with less effort... Let us know how that one works out for you, please... Looking forward to your update! Thanks!

Unclep1, I haven't used slime on tubed tires, but they make a tire slime for tubes. Here: http://www.amazon.com/Slime-10004-Tube-Sealant-oz/dp/B000ENSRS0/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1400536620&sr=1-4

I have only used the Fluke version one time, so I really cant give you the best info. This unit worked very well for my novice field tech's and the fluke also worked well and didn't require and real training. so in my opinion take the cheap one.

Does not matter! Buy the gas powered one. It is so much better and will power thru about 6 inch limbs, Just remember to duck.

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.

There is no difference that I know of, this one has a + on the bottle as well. There is API Stress Coat which helps with the slime coat and is a different product.

I had the same thoughts when I saw my X20 for the first time. However I find that the paddles usually come out very cleanly without mangling the bread. When that happens the holes are not so objectionable.

I bought two of them. One lasted all of six hours & broke apart into large chunks. I bought a regular tire & filled it with slime. So far it is working just fine. The second tire is still holding together (so far).

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.

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.

There no difference! I had used both of them and there's no difference at all just the size. Im running the slim kits on my cars and I haven't have any problems!
